Yes. And "porn" is one of the most searched for terms yet 80% of the sites on the first page host stolen content on beyond 25% of their sites causing substantial damage to others in the adult industry.

Until put on notice of listing copyright infringing websites ? they have the affirmative defense of their results being those of a computer algorithm ...

Why isn't Pirate Bay on the first couple pages for "movies" or "film" ? The CTR has to be high. Obviously it's free. I think the answer is likely that the results have been manually adjusted to appease organizations such as the MPAA. The same happened with the instant search results in order to appease such parties.
