Looks like yesterday's update was not Penguin. Check this out

After More Than Two Years, Google Finally Releasing New "Pirate Update" To Fight Piracy

Google Updates Search Algorithm To Weed Out "Notorious" Piracy Sites - Search Engine Journal

I loss about 1 or 4 positions some of my websites. Not sure why my sites were affected by this...
Maybe Google is rolling Penguin and Piracy update simultaneously?

    That doesn't mean that there wasn't a Penguin update. The pirate update is not something most IM'ers ever would have noticed.

    Google has had a habit over the last 18 months or so of releasing these updates within close proximity of one another. They rarely have done just a standalone update.

      I agree. After a quick thinking I edit my posting. Yes, this cannot be just Piracy update.

    Probably sampling download/files like they do on Youtube audio when protected songs are trying to be uploaded (rejected). That and obvious page titles that include movie/song titles along with downloadable files/links on the same webpage/s.

    They could also be looking at linking out to bad neighborhoods, example crappy sites paying 3rd world uploaders pennies for protected downloads.
