Anti-piracy company demanded that Google remove links to operating systems, DBMS, instant messengers and browsers

The German company Total Wipes Anti Piracy , which is engaged in the control of copyright on the Internet, has sent many requests to Google to remove content. This would not be surprising, but among the links that the "anti-pirates" deemed violating copyright, there was such an incredible list of companies that TorrentFreak journalists with a light heart called these requests "the most idiotic."

A certain label Aborigeno Music has released the musical album "In To The Wild - Vol.7". Obviously, the piece of music turned out to be popular on the Internet, so the label's management was forced to seek assistance from Total Wipes in tracking the illegal links to the album. In the latter, without thinking twice, we made a listout of 95 links that in one way or another contribute to copyright infringement, and contacted Google. Among the pirate companies were:

ICQ, RedHat, SQLite, Vuze, LinuxMint, WineHQ, Foxit, Caliber, Kodi / XBMC, Skype, Java, OpenOffice, Gimp, Ubuntu, Python, TeamViewer, MySQL, VLC, Joomla, Z -Zip, RaspberryPI, Unity3D, Apache, MalwareBytes, Pidgin, LibreOffice, VMWare, uTorrent, WinSCP, WhatsApp, Evernote, AMD, AVG, Origin, TorProject, PHPMyAdmin, Nginx, FFmpeg, phpbb, Plex, Dropbox, GNU, Wire .

Google, of course, rejected the requests. However, the initiative of the German "anti-pirates" inspires concern that they will not stop there. In 2012, they already contacted Google about one of the articles on TorrentFreak, which talked about ways to anonymously download content. In anotherIn an application for content removal, articles describing issues of avoiding copyright controls were considered a threat to Truth or Dare.
