Piracy policy re: sites that offer hacked software
Hello. My question is about software piracy. I'll soon be launching my site which offers a new posture software. I've been told to expect it to be hacked and online for free within 2 weeks. This is not encouraging news. So I wonder what Mozilla's policy is regarding sites that distribute this kind of pirated software? Thanks very much, Les

Likely will get taken down if its distributing bad Firefox (badware).
There is also a place to report such sites.
Mozilla doesn't have a mechanism to restrict Firefox from visiting sites that distribute pirated software or media. However, if the site is known to distribute malware or has been used in phishing scans, then it may be blocked; Firefox uses data from Google for this feature.
By default, Firefox users get their search results from Google. You may want to become acquainted with Google's take-down process for infringing sites:
