What is a solution then? It seems like a good deterrent. It has to hurt.
In Poland (where I'm from) they similarly punished Ceneo, Skąpiec, Nokaut (all most popular price comparator services) and even Tesco. See http://www.seoportal.pl/ceneo-skapiec-tesco-ukarane-przez-google http://www.seoportal.pl/ceneo-skapiec-tesco-ukarane-przez-go...

(English by Google Translate).
Not one of these websites has died, but a lesson was taught.
- grey-area 13y agoShould Google have that sort of power over almost every business in the world?
- V-2 13y agoI agree that this is troubling in its own right. I just don't think that this power was abused in this particular case.
- baldajan 13y agoThe punishment should fit the crime, and I believe the punishment was far too excessive. In my opinion, I think a solution exists where when one searches for rap genius, rap genius results are on top, not on the 7th page. I am not defending rap genius for what they did, but criticizing Google for their actions.
