3. If a website gets DMCA protection, can that website then be seen in search engine results?

By the way, if someone were to be interested to develop one's own search engine, what should this person know about DMCA protection? If every website is DMCA protected, can search engine work in the first place?

SHINE THE LIGHT LAW & DMCA COMBO
