I only see one solution: Make Google split the search business out so that it only provides search and nothing else. That was Google's stated 'point' of their own site and they should be held to it. They are like a bad rash, just ripping off from businesses of all sizes and relying on their dominance in search and financial muscle to get away with it. Siphoning off search into its own unit would defang Google's ability to use their search engine dominance to upend others business models and would also reduce the incentives to do such shady things as well.

Another solution is to make Google pay for the estimated damages caused to the website (I think it's reasonable to extrapolate growth for a few more years) as well as a massive punitive damage as well because of the callousness and deliberate manner in which they contacted the site owners AND TOLD HIM THEY WOULD TAKE WHAT THEY WANT. I hope Google is forced to pay CNW no less than one billion dollars for this obvious abuse of their position and theft of their content.
