Disney Patents the Idea of a Piracy-Free Search Engine
Disney wants to rid the Web of "undesirable search results" and has patented the idea of a search engine where officially approved and authentic sites carry far more weight than unlicensed ones.
If a newly registered patent is anything to go by, Disney is building a search engine that ranks sites on authenticity and legitimacy rather than on popularity — in other words, if you search for “Dumbo” you’ll see Disney’s official site at the top of the results, with illegal streams and downloads of the movie nowhere to be seen.
