You find the torrents by going directly to Demonoid or TPB; search right on the Demonoid or TPB websites. You don't need to use google once you know about the sites. As for how you find those sites in the first place, well, google is the biggest but not the only game in town. Couple that with the fact that word of mouth is huge in bringing traffic to these sites, especially with the younger generations and little would be accomplished if google decided to censor and eliminate links to those sites (which I doubt they would do anyway).
My point is, people using Limewire are using really dated tech, but they probably already know about others still in use like Frostwire or actual torrent sites just from their experience with Limewire. The torrent cat is out of the bag and for sites that don't use any kind of centralized servers, they have little to fear.
That, and tech is expanding, I believe magnetic links were brought up earlier, so there is that as well.
The tech will ALWAYS be a few steps ahead of those who want to shut them down.
