Google PageRank Suit Dismissed
idobi writes to mention a C|Net article covering the dismissal of the Google page ranking case. Despite the loss, KinderStart also saw the ruling as a victory. The judge left the door open for a refiling, and the company is seeking to bring the suit to class-action status. Assistant professor of law at Marquette University Law School Eric Goldman comments in the article: "Frankly, there are very few novel or surprising aspects of this ruling. For example, the judge rejected the claim that Google was a state actor, but this ruling is entirely consistent with the dozen or so precedents involving private Internet companies ... The other rulings seemed very sensible and fairly predictable from the complaint. It's pretty clear that the judge thinks that some of KinderStart's claims have no chance even with repleading, but the judge apparently has decided to give KinderStart that chance rather than just shutting the door."
Welcome to America, where you have to freedom to sue who you want and also to use poor grammar when making an argument that is so far off it becomes funny. What country are you from? I bet I can find a problem with it. Found it - it's not America.
Can I bum a sig?
And why shouldn't the New York Times be free to accuse KinderStart of molesting little boys? It's their wholly-owned newspaper, so is there any reason they should be kept from writing their own news articles?
