Google "Nikki Sims" in private browsing FireFox or any other method that hides you from Google.

#5 on first page results

FilesTube.com is the #1 domain with copyright removal request.

When will Google start penalizing these sites?

According to the blog post in which Google announced that removal requests would be taken into account in their rankings, they started doing it around the middle of this month.

From the post, which is date August 10:

Starting next week, we will begin taking into account a new signal in our rankings: the number of valid copyright removal notices we receive for any given site. Sites with high numbers of removal notices may appear lower in our results.

I added a bit of emphasis to the key word there. ;-)

I just did the search in private, for me filetube.com is 10th, and most of the other rankings are dailymotion.

Google is caught in between offering users what their looking for and appeasing producers of content mainstream and adult at not listing infringing content. Looks like progress that its moving down in serps, never said it would be a complete removal just a penalty.

They're #1 based on URLs, but the second figure is probably closer to the metric that Google would use, since it would allow a more fair comparison between small and large sites.

Imagine an international company that has millions of customers and thousands of complaints - looks pretty bad against Local Joe's who has a few thousand customers and only a few complaints, but if you express it as average complaints per customer it becomes a more level playing field.
