They will never do it.

If one search engine blocks content related to content sharing another will emerge to take over immediately. Why?

1) It’s good business. I read last week that at least 1/3 of all internet traffic is related to file sharing. You do the math.
2) The internet and file sharing is all about freedom. People will – and should – never accept companies or authorities limiting their right to information. Censorship belongs in the pre-internet era.

BitTorent and utorrent are not piracy websites. I guess ignorance is bliss.
