@lololulu19:
Search engines such as Google should be blocked from indexing this website by using a Robots.txt in the HTML code of the site. By indexing the site, ANYBODY can search for Torrents on GTRU whether they have a membership or not. This is why there are so man DMCA reports.
Eh, there are only a few large gay-specific torrent sites. This is one of them and there are no restrictions on signing up for an account and then searching. Anyone interested in sending out DMCA takedown requests would still do so even if the site weren't indexed by Google.
Perhaps it does make it slightly easier for people to submit DMCA requests, but the advantage to members of using Google probably outweighs that slight disadvantage. Google searches are both easier and more versatile because of the ability to use search operators. Google search functions even when the site's search function does not.
Honoring DMCA requests is the practical thing to do, aside from the legal and moral aspects. It is likely essential for the site's long-term survival. This isn't like the old Pirate Bay with millions of active users and the financial resources and full-time staff to continuously battle for existence.
