  The Pirate Bay is Hard to Find on Google in Some Countries
  
  By Andy from TorrentFreak
  
  Anyone entering the term 'The Pirate Bay' into a search engine should expect to get The Pirate Bay's website as the top or close to top result, since that's what the search demands. However, depending on where you are in the world and what variant of Google search you use, results can vary quite dramatically.

  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  A new advertising campaign run by the Content Creators Coalition paints YouTube as an artist-unfriendly platform. The video spots, which run on YouTube itself, highlight 'poor' payouts and ridicule the streaming service's DMCA takedown process.

  Lose Yourself: National Party Guilty of Eminem Copyright Infringement
  
  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  New Zealand's ruling National Party must pay $600,000 for infringing the copyrights of Eminem's track "Lose Yourself" in a 2014 election spot. The ruling is significant, not least because the party's political leader at the time was Kim Dotcom's nemesis John Key.

  Russian Site-Blocking Chiefs Under Investigation For Fraud
  
  By Andy from TorrentFreak
  
  A scandal is emerging in Russia after several officials of Russian site-blocking body Rozcomnadzor were charged with fraud. Those arrested include the watchdog's spokesman and top lawyer, both of whom have been placed under house arrest. It's alleged that the telecoms authority 'employed' ghost staff whose salaries were actually paid to existing employees, on top of their own money.

  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  The CCIA, which represents global tech firms including Amazon, Google, and Netflix, is cautioning the US Government against blaming open source media players such as Kodi for streaming box piracy. Any enforcement actions should be aimed at those who misuse the software for infringing means, not those who code it.

  Deep Down, Games Pirates Love Enemies Like Denuvo
  
  By Andy from TorrentFreak
  
  Denuvo is considered to be the most despicable anti-piracy mechanism known to man although lately it's been almost completely dismantled. But while hardcore pirates celebrate its current demise they're forgetting one thing. Having a bogeyman and then slapping a fat piratey pie in his face is almost a fun as playing the game.

  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  The music industry is doing its best to shutter YouTube converter sites and the RIAA recently reported several of them to the US Government. This didn't sit well with digital rights group EFF, who wrote a reply stressing that the music group is twisting the law, as stream ripping sites are not by definition illegal.
