Warner
Bros. asks Google to
remove its own
website due to
copyright infringement
First rule of filing DMCA takedown **tices: Do **t ask for your own site to be taken down.*

DMCA copyright complaint to Google, filed on behalf of
Warner Bros. by

TorrentFreak,

The sites in question are WB's official sites for
The Dark Knight and
The Matrix. As you can see in one of the screenshots below, Amazon's entirely in**cuous
page — in fact, a page where people can legally buy copies of
The Dark Knight — is listed as a transgressor as well.*
