Is Yahoo Sending a Message To Pirates?

PirateBay links disappearing from index

Familiar Ring

This reminds me of a similar action recently by Google. I believe they may have bowed to pressure from Lowes Home Improvement. I was listed front page for a year for search term "loews home improvement"until suddenly I was gone. Also gone were any domains or subs taking advantag of this misspelling. Of course there is a weak case for copyright infringement and that could possibly have been threatened. I see no other explanation for total disappearance of a specific category of websites. That spelling in google search now returns results only for websites displaying the correct spelling.

So goes the search engine games.
