I actually have some sympathy for companies that are working solely in an industry like cartography, that have Google come in and offer the same service for free. Yes, on the one hand, it forces the competitors to develop better products and justify charging for them. But on the other, Google is clearly using their billions made from search advertising to dominate another unrelated industry. It was wrong when Microsoft did it, it's still wrong when Google does it.

That would hold water if the products they were "dominating" were competitive in any way, shape, or form. The competition frankly sucks. I'd believe Google was killing them if they weren't busy killing themselves by offering a completely and totally inferior product at a much higher price.
