After being hit by a massive fine of 2.4 billion Euro by EU antitrust regulations, Google has again invited trouble due to its search results. This time the search engine highlighted results for &quot;Best Torrent sites&quot;.

The results for &#39;best torrent sites&#39; listed down Rarbg, 1337x, isoHunt, The Pirate Bay and many others torrent sites.The report was first published by Torent Freak.&nbsp;

Google also displayed illegal infamous software like Putlocker and Alluc along with legal streaming such as Hulu and Crakle, for the search of &#39;streaming sites&#39;. This is in variance with Google&#39;s &nbsp;attempt of curbing online piracy.&nbsp;

In February Google and MIcrosoft entered into an agreement with the British Phonographic Industry and Motion Picture Association to delist pirated websites from the first page of search results. The agreement was supposed to come into effect from June 1, 2017. However, the latest developments reflect a failure of this attempt.&nbsp;

Google had shown similar pirated ratings of movies previously. The entertainment industry has already blamed Google for not doing much to curb piracy.&nbsp;

Google justified its stance on the matter by saying that the results are generated based on algorithms. &quot; These results are generated algorithmically, but in this particular case, do not reflect what we had in mind for this feature, and we are looking into it.&quot;
