To curb piracy, Google search results will soon be programmed. All over the globe the record   companies have been asking Google to take some constructive steps towards curbing piracy. With these changes Google certainly hopes to reduce it
Google has suggested the new measure in which  its search will employ special algorithms that will promote legitimate searches to the top of the page while pushing pirated content and potential piracy websites towards the end of the search, thereby highlighting and promoting more legitimate ways to purchase or rent out digital content rather than promoting piracy.

As stated by senior vice president for engineering "The new system will use removal notices, or complaints from entertainment companies, that a website has received in ranking search results, based on those the ranking of the pages or websites will be affected thereby reducing their appearance in the search results and lowering their ranking as well," .
Therefore the results will be demoted they will not be removed from the search completely.  When someone sends a copyright violation notice to the company than only the removal of the search result will take place.
From next month onwards new search policy is expected to come. After the implementation it will definitely be a long step towards fighting piracy.
