Wrong.
Every torrent site, filehost aggregator or any other pirate sites knows how to game that stat and they're already doing it. They index every query ever ran on their site as an individual page that Google indexes. You can search for "Megan Fox and Morgan Freeman sex tape" on Filestube and within hours that's the number one google result. That percentages of pages stat is bullshit. Pirates would LOVE for Google to use that (and Google probably will) because it's so easily manipulated. Do you actually believe less than 5% of the material on ThePirateBay is pirated? Do you actually believe less than 1% of the stuff on Filestube is pirated? Pirates would love you to believe that's true but it's complete horseshit.
