    This has been remedied.

    I would add that Nate Glass, owner of Take Down Piracy, sent a heartfelt apology and has indicated that GitHub.com is now white-listed by his company.

What a nice invitation to have a github repository for links and magnets to any material that Take Down Piracy is supposed to protect.
I would imagine that TDP/industry could work with GitHub directly (as opposed to search engines like Google), and GitHub themselves would be conscious to this sort of thing themselves - it being contrary to their terms:
