It seems to me there has been some manual tweaking in the results to satisfy the movie industry. I ask why not porn as well? Why isn't the pirate bay number 1 for movies or even on the first few pages? Clearly it is popular and often linked to with relevant anchors.
what do you mean "permitted?"

for a generic term like "movies" of course the results will be filled with authority sites like wikipedia and imbd. but all the other big movie search phrases like "watch movies online" are filled with pirate sites.

if there were pirate sites removed there would be a chilling effects notice on the page anyway.
