Netflix to punch hard against piracy: Google removed from tens of thousands of links

Known as DMCA takedown, these are the bitter enemies of the so-called "hackers." It is removal of links or content on a web page, because in fact, they belong to others. The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is a part of American law that protects copyrights, and it seems that among the many names that have exploited it in order to protect its interests you are adding massively Netflix, and It is not surprising that much.

The company behind the on-demand streaming service it is showing more and more determined to fight the hopes and the dreams of hackers. A few months ago he announced a war against those who access via VPN service, in order to provide content not officially present within a particular country, but now it is going even deeper. According to the TorrentFreak writes Netflix began reporting thousands of web pages that give illegal access to content on the service.

Last December we wrote that had been violated security algorithms used by various online services, including Netflix. It seems that at that time the streaming service has begun to send the first of link removal requests in collaboration with Vobile. It has since been sent 71,861 of link removal requests for the violation of copyright Netflix properties. Among the works of the protagonists of "takedown" we find especially the most famous: House of Cards, Narcos and Orange Is The New Black.

At the moment it seems that Netflix has targeted especially vodlocker.com and uploaded.net sites, with the aim of launching a particular message to the world of piracy. It is obvious that the company will not be able to eliminate all its contents scattered on the web, however, he hoped that increasing efforts will persuade more users to subscribe to paid subscriptions. Moreover Netflix offers a high quality service at a price that we consider absolutely honest: starting from 7.99 EUR monthly with being supplied with a long list of TV series, documentaries, and movies. We believe that "pirate" Netflix is ​​actually a whim than a necessity.

The growing combating piracy also establishes a kind of change of the company's strategy, which last in 2013 did not consider the pirates as a possible threat. The Netflix CEO Reed Hastings argued instead that the pirates weary internal teams to understand which show offer licensed in the various regions of the world. A problem that Netflix now being grown enormously since then, can solve on their own exploiting various custom algorithms.
