Hollywood's demands that Google remove from its search results a subreddit that encourages users to post links to free full length movies has reinvigorated the subreddit's ailing traffic.

TorrentFreak reported the notice Tuesday, and the subreddit FullLengthFilms saw daily clicks skyrocket to more than 300,000 on Thursday, from an average of about 2,400.

Google hasn't removed the site from its search results despite the Motion Picture Association of America's takedown request. Even so, it was perhaps a slight victory of sorts for the studios. The rules of the subreddit now say that it will only allow legal content.

According to one moderator, jaredcheeda:

I forgot I even made this place. Just updated the sidebar to get rid of my "This subreddit is in beta and the stylesheet is still being worked on". And of course changed it to stop saying "prefer" and instead to say "only". Yeah, that looked bad. This place is a shit hole of spam links. If anyone wants to be added as a moderator to clean it up, let me know. So far, no one from Reddit.com or TorrentFreak has contacted me regarding this. I wasn't even aware until a user on here linked me to the article. For those wanting to submit good, legal content, please do.

The subreddit also saw a CSS fix Thursday and got a darker background.
