They will grow, and not in a good way. These are automated requests, and RIAA and the others don't really care if a percentage of them are not correct. The problem is that if your site was in these lists, and you actually have a fair use, your complaint will be manually processed - so it will take a lot of time.

BTW, the site list[1] looks like a great index for file sharing sites; somehow it defeats the purpose.

For anyone interested in pirating content on the internet, it is already pretty easy (even without google search, or this page in particular). So it doesn't really change anything.

Right. twitter search for putlocker.com or sockshare.com #whac-a-mole I never understood how megavideo got taken down when youtube had a much larger library of pirated content. Still does. Just watched Dredd 3D on it last week.
