Google does not return links to the pirate bay for me https://i.imgur.com/MkAPoFl.png.

At the bottom there is a message that says "In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 4 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at LumenDatabase.org" and links to https://lumendatabase.org/notices/27615507

Odd. Google always returns links to the pirate bay for me https://i.imgur.com/tNo6tbB.png

I'm in Canada though. But I did use Google.com.

Canada has relatively lenient copyright laws/enforcement. It's likely that Google sees no legal need to honor DMCA-style takedown notices in Canada.

Here's a guide to the legal status of torrents here with broad categories, from most lenient to most strict (caution VPN spam): https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/torrents-illegal-update-count...

Interesting to note that downloading copyrighted content for personal use is explicitly legal (not just overlooked) in Spain, Switzerland, and Poland.

The picture shows that downloading is illegal only in six countries.

that's a different search query. I did get that same result if I use your query instead. (I'm in the US)

edit: it's also for a "proxy" site. I don't really use torrents or follow TPB happenings and don't know how that is/isn't affiliated.

Linking to the site itself (especially when that’s what you searched for) isn’t the same as linking to a torrent to infringing content would be.
