Sounds reasonable enough to me. Having links to content removed from search engines, and often also the content itself, is very easy to do and could easily be automated. There's a whole new industry of copyright infringement catchers who will do it for you if you can't be bothered.

There are also a lot of writers who don't care that their work is on pirate sites because they see it as free publicity that will reach an audience they would otherwise have no way of reaching.
