    In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org.
    (i'm not sure why but all my links seem to have turned purple when i uploaded to img shack even though they're blue in the image (i even checked on my pc) but any how.

    Whats wrong?

    They received a complaint and removed an ad, wheres the problem?

    it's not an ad it's a result. If it keeps up perhaps they're going to cut off all search results that list torrents and then who knows from there

    They've been doing this for about the past seven years, including listing the complaint (which gives you a link to the offending website if you take the time to read it). They have to do this as long as they want to avail of salf-harbour exceptions in the 1998 DMCA. If they don't then they can be sued for copyright infringement, which given the nature of google's business and spidering they'd rather didn't happen.

    More than likely what was removed was a search result from youtube.

    They do it often enough. Primarily at the copyright holder's request:
    Nova has appeared repeatedly in Japan's Bachelor magazine, an erotica publication that specializes in Caucasian women with large breasts. To date, Nova has appeared in seven VHS tapes, twenty-one DVDs, three photobooks, 2 calendars, and numerous magazines originally intended for the Japanese market, including Up You.[citation needed]

    In 2003, the copyright holder for her still photographs successfully lobbied the Google search engine to block websites containing unauthorized copies of the photographs.[1]
    You have no reason to know why I was googling a russian nude model. Just know that I did.
