No, this has more to do with the above mentioned conflict they have been in since Day 1.
G is pinned down by its' own ethos: the best 'user experience' gets the highest ranking. But what if that 'best user experience' is coming from a pirate site? Hmmm....Instant conflict. (I'm sure if there was a mainstream movie theater company that was offering free admission to every Hollywood blockbuster - just pay for the popcorn - they would rank #1 in Google, too. What's a better 'user experience' than not paying for something?)
So all this means Google is PROFITING somehow from their relationship with the tubes and filelockers. End of story.

It seems like we actually agree minus the suing comment at the end.
Who do the consumers think are the leaders of the porn industry? The tubes and the pirates largely. That is who Google cares about as well.
This stuff? It is for mainstream. It is for the movie and music producers who are on them. No matter what you might think or what they might "hint" at it is most certainly not for the adult industry. They don't give a shit about us unless it is to prevent our sites from coming up in non-adult keywords or to get rid of the "spammers". And often we are considered the "spammers" rightly or wrongly.
The movie and music industry actually has large trade groups which lobby the government and threatens to sue. In adult the people at the top are the pirates. It is not hard to see. Why would Google save the industry when we [collectively] don't seem to give a damn ourselves?
