and Intellectual Property, Baroness Neville-Rolfe, chairs regular roundtable meetings
between the UK’s leading search engine providers, representatives of the music and
film industries, and government officials.</p><p> </p><p>Since the instigation of

a decrease in the prominence of the most infringing websites (as measured by the number
of notifications Google have received about infringing content for those sites).</p><p>
