I wonder what the secondary incentive effects of this will be. I see three possibilities:
1. Encourage copyright owners to send more takedowns to Google Search, since those takedowns will be "more powerful".
2. Encourage targeted sites to send more counter-notifications since a Google Search takedown has an effect on an entire site's ranking, not just a particular link.
3. Encourage shared sites (hosting providers, etc.) to shut down particular users or areas that get a lot of Google Search takedowns, to stop the spillover effect on the rest of the site.
I don't know which of these effects will matter the most, but I suspect at least one of them will be behind a significant unexpected consequence of this change.
