Rivendell Makes History By Reporting 500 Millionth Infringing URL To Google

French anti-piracy group Rivendell sent its 500 millionth URL delisting request to Google, breaking the half-a-billion barrier for a single reporting entity for the first time. Founder Hervé Lemaire credits pirates for being resourceful but loves finding ways to "outsmart" them. Google has processed requests to remove 4.43 billion URLs from its indexes across 2.77 million domains. The company suggests that because it acts so quickly, it can detect content before it appears in Google’s indexes.
