It seems a bit odd that Google targets torrent sites but gives streaming sites a pass.

A new report released by streaming search engine JustWatch has revealed that Google's "Pirate Update" drastically decreased the visibility of torrent sites in search results. However, the algorithm changes failed to punish illegal streaming portals, which still draw billions of visitors from search engines.
 
Is that because the 6-strikes thing only cares about P2P, not streams?

No kidding. They give raw search results and show the most popular or relevant websites. I dont see why they should ever have to get involved in this. Bing and Yahoo (although lol) also provide the same general search results. So why is google running NannyTown?
