Google Sees DMCA Takedown Requests Surge to New Highs
Google has experienced a significant increase in DMCA takedown requests, now processing over 1.6 billion annually. This surge is primarily driven by publishers like Penguin Random House and HarperCollins, who are actively targeting pirated content.
