  2. SearchKing legal defense fund? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Redundant
    SearchKing is offering the same legal summary documents for a fee!

    From SearchKing's Google case site:

    In these documents, you will find answers, (according to google), to questions like:
    DID GOOGLE DO IT INTENTIONALLY?
    CAN GOOGLE DO IT TO YOU?
    WHAT CAN YOU DO IF THEY DO?
    HOW IMPORTANT IS PAGE RANK TO PLACEMENT?
    ARE THEY WORRIED ABOUT OTHER LAWSUITS?

    You can learn answers to these questions and more ---- but not for free. It's going to cost you $20 to see the documents. The $20 for the password to view these papers is not a sale. It is a donation to the SearchKing legal fund.

    I imagine their legal defense fund totals will be enough to hire My Cousin Vinny.

  4. $20 to read the documents? by Sebby · · Score: 2, Redundant
    According to the analysis article, SearchKing is requesting $20 (basically a donation) for you to get access to view the filed documents of the suit on their site (same ones as hosted in the article). These are documents that are freely available to the public. By law.

    Very poor analogy, actually. Microsoft is in a very special class of companies: monopolies.

    Not to mention being in an even more special class of companies, abusive monopolies - ones that use their monopoly power to crush competition.

    So, Google is neither a monopoly nor an abusive monopoly.
