There are a few places where you can't do that, but those are not mainstream places so the small minority of people who use them don't statistically matter. (not that any of them do, but I think I would have trouble convincing you of that).

Yes, you can occasionally get Google to stop indexing certain pages if you have a copyright claim, but once a file gets on file sharing websites it spreads like wildfire. Once one websites has a file it will spread to other websites within hours. There really is no way to get a file is removed. I don't think even the US government would be able to get a file off the internet, which seems to have held true with WikiLeaks (which now has over 1400 mirrors).
