The purpose of search engines is to help people find what they are looking for. Today’s web would be pretty much unusable without them. This urge to search also comes with a downside, as not everything on the web is posted with permission. Pirate sites are a prime example. Removing Pirate Sites from Search.

The bulk of the data also comes via OCR of images and so there are some artifacts (although I did read-through the first 1,000 design patents).
