Over the last few years, Google has acquiesced to Hollywood and the music industry, blacklisting almost fifty piracy-related terms from appearing in Autocomplete and Instant Services.
According to Freak, Google has recently unbanned at least two of those terms, the most popular clients, 'BitTorrent' and 'uTorrent.'
BitTorrent Inc., the company behind the client, has long shown disappointment that Google labeled them as "piracy related."
For the last few months, the company has continuously pleaded to Google to get the name removed from filters, and those efforts appear to have paid off.
"This is almost certainly a result of that improving understanding helped by products like BitTorrent Bundle and BitTorrent Sync. They help those who are confused about BitTorrent understand that it is not a piracy website," a BitTorrent Inc. spokesperson added.
