Whats funny and ironic is that this actually makes finding pirated content much easier since only actual sites that contain pirated content are the ones that will be listed on DMCA complaint list

In recent years it is less easy, as content owners are now reporting huge batches of URLs in one complaint, so finding what you are looking for in this mass is much harder. They also often report fake downloads and scam websites in DCMA complaints.

Barbara again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
Yes I wonder if these URLs have to be made public by law in DMCA notices.
I assume that, if they legally could, they wouldn't show you anything

The notices don't have to be disclosed to anyone but the alleged infringer. The URLs don't have to be hyperlinked either. This is one part of Google giving the trolls a middle finger.

Google should index them all on a separate page. For science of course.
More than once I've done a search for something pedestrian (no intent for piracy/etc) only to notice the "some results removed" link. Out of curiosity I've clicked it, just to see what crazy things have been removed, and been quite amused/interested in the results.
