Probably not, but sites like Pornhub do have thousands of sites linking them with "porn" and "free porn". There are better more relevant sites to list if you are simply searching for "movies". which is why movies.com and fandango and imdb are all the top results, because they are about MOVIES. Not downloading or watching them. Search for "watch movies" or "download movies" and you will see plenty of pirate sites.

Hmm. This is certainly possible however I still note some oddities. For example right now for me "www.youtube.com/movies" is ranking #6 for the term "movies". Do more peple really link to Youtube with the anchor text "movies" than the TPB? Hulu is #9 for the same term. My gut tells me there is more going on rather than merely the difference in the anchor text.

Perhaps it is going on somewhat however the movie industry is not convinced that enough of it is being done. Maybe they want more than Google is willing to do currently. Seems logical.

No, a password sharing site does, and the URL is not even on page 1.
I'm disgusted.

Did you search for your site title? It's unusual that you wouldn't come up first unless it is a competitive term or you were under some sort of penalty or ban. This is another issue though in addition to the general main terms within the industry such as "porn" and "free porn".
