I still get it:

"In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 3 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at LumenDatabase.org. In response to a complaint that we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at LumenDatabase.org."

If you go to that service they'll require an email but you can use a discardable one and still be anonymous to get the original blocked URLs.

I actually still use this for torrent searches sometimes, it just takes a few more clicks.




What's stopping them from showing these things in countries outside the US? Not all of us live in the US.


I remember seeing that footer before. I live in Europe and am not using a VPN.

It’s been a few years since last time I saw it though. But that could also be because my searches now are different than they used to be.


I'm not a copyright lawyer, but I assume it's some result of US copyright law, or international copyright treaties like Bern


I'm outside the US - not sure what you mean.
