Hahahaha, that would be a good one. Probably extremely high fines. It's not the way a democracy works to say no. The appeal was the only sensible way to go.

The problem is not this case per se. The problem Google faces is the precedent. If this goes through, every one who thinks that there is an irregularity about a website will go to court in order to bring it down from google.

If many websites stop being listed on Google, people might start looking for new search engines and... You can imagine how the story goes from there...
