> Google is intentionally misinterpreting the verdict of the lawsuit in order to punish those who might challenge the company.

Even if we stipulate this, how is that bad? Should Google be forced to deal with companies that screw with it? How far do you want to take that idea?

You're asking me how it's bad that Google is using a strong-arm tactic to punish content-owners who sued it? Surely, I don't need to answer that question, especially with Google's monopoly troubles in Europe. Google should let things be, respect the decision, and move on.

I'd also like to mention again how incredibly lame it is that my comments are being voted down in this discussion. All I did was correct people who assumed the lawsuit was pertaining to ALL search engine links. I'm at a loss as to what I wrote that warrants negative votes.

Didn't you notice every second link here is about Google? It's not permitted to say anything bad about Google here.

Yes, I am. If you sue someone, can you really expect them to be nice to you afterwords?
