Those takedown services are mostly trash. At my last job we got, well, not a billion of them, but a substantial number and so many were dead URLs, sites that don’t exist anymore, wrongly identified content, IPFS gateways and so on.
A shocking few were actually content that they claimed it to be, and I can’t imagine whatever this company is doing with google results is somehow more useful in preventing piracy.
The same stuff as botting on torrents, even when the content being torrented is legally available on the creators website (adultswim.com), and then sending cease and desist letters. We won’t pay them bastards, so our strategy in court will be that it IS fully available, legally.

Sounds like a classic cash grab—which is kind of like piracy.
