Hi Friends,
Google: Pirate Update. Google's Pirate Update is a filter introduced in August 2012 designed to prevent sites with many copyright infringement reports, as filed through Google's DMCA system, from ranking well in Google's listings. The filter is periodically updated.

The SEO world gets an earthquake whenever Google rolls out another algorithm update. With most algorithm update etc.
If “Pirate” sounds too whimsical, you can call this update the “DMCA Penalty.” DMCA stands for Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
In this if the website is having a copyright issue with another website then Google will penalize the website which has the pirated content.

let me tell you what is the basic difference between Pirate and Pirate 2.0 update:

Pirate: This update came initial, to filter all those piracy content like Text, Media, Audio etc. In the beginning its just finding exact matched content to penalize.

Pirate 2.0: In this updated, pirate algorithm started to check deep piracy of content.
