> Many lawyers are willing to work for something like 30% of whatever payout they manage to get, 30% of nothing is nothing. Can you explain why the writer would get _any money at all_? What financial losses have they suffered? Are they being defamed? Has it affected their reputation? --- Civil courts can't fix things like this! It will never be worth Google's time to correct these mistakes unless they are forced to by the government. Searching the Internet finds thousands of cases against Google, 95%+ of which are settled in Google's favor.
