Google will remove websites from its search results if they believe they are obligated to do so by law. If the site contains illegal content, such as copyright infringed content then the sites links can be removed from Google searches entirely.
In order to remove copyright infringement a DMCA Takedown notice must be filed. Often it is best practice to file for removal from the infringing website first, once the content is removed from the website it will also come down from Google search results. To get started, submit the DMCA.com Takedown from here: Takedown Form
Three main pieces of information will be required to file for takedown.
You will need to clearly show what has been stolen from you and where it needs to be removed from. If itis showing in search engines, or has been published on someone else's website be sure to provide the page URL and image URL, or copy the text to show the exact theft. If it is on a social media profile be sure to provide the exact content link.
You will need to provide the URL where your content was stolen from. If it was stolen from your social media profile, dating profile, or your website page, make sure to provide the exact page URL as well as the image URL or the original text if needed to show the exact content.
