Well then why don't you educate us if you are sure that you know better than I do, Agent 488? Based upon patterns conclusions can be drawn. It may not be 100% but we can approach that direction.

There are some interesting patterns:

http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&h...bay.org+movies - About 965,000 results
http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&h...ulu.com+movies - About 260,000 results (Hulu comes up within the top 20 for "movies")

None of the top results (within the top 50 and probably top 100) for "movies" or "films" seem to have any pirate sites at all. They are all major media company sites, local guide sites with information on local movies [these seem to come up first - which the MPAA probably loves in order to encourage people to go to theaters), or authority sites such as IMDB, rotten tomatoes, or wikipedia. It's as if they are hand picked and selected or at least subject to whitelisting and blacklisting. Contrast this to general porn terms which are often dominated by high CTR pirate sites. I would say there is strong evidence that there is differentiation based on industry with a strong case for some results being hand picked.

In the end isn't it one hell of a coincidence that thepiratebay doesn't rank high for main media industry terms such as movies? Surely you have to at least concede that.
