Can someone with knowledge of this explain what procedure Google go through when they receive a DMCA to remove results from their index.
I've been going through this (utterly painful and depressing) process this week and a few pages/docs/pdfs have been returning 404's a day or so later, which got me thinking that Google has been contacting the hosts somehow.
as removal from the google index is obviously a serious matter, it would make sense for google to contact webmasters, perhaps through postmaster/webmaster email addresses, and give them a few days to contest the DMCA.
anyway, I'm guessing. Does anyone know?
