Google Lawsuit Over Search Rankings

Are you ready for another win for Google? Here we go!
This time around, “two real estate agents in Victoria, Australia have filed suit against Google. Mark Forytarz & Paul Castran claim defamation due to articles painting them in a negative light that can be found on the search engine.”
This story sounds awefully familiar. Oh yeah, we last heard this from Kinderstart. Kinderstart.com had their PageRank set to zero, so the logical thing to do was to sue Google. Not too long after Kinderstart.com brought the lawsuit on Google, they lost — Google: 1, Kinderstart.com: 0.
Similarly, these two Australian real estate agents think they can beat Google because it’s giving them a bad name.
People really ought to find something better to do with their time. If these two real estate agents had any idea about how Google works, they would know they could simply build a website that ranks higher for their keyword and then the listing will eventually just fade away. Well, if that doesn’t work, try suing the publishing company instead. And as a last resort, even try sending a DMCA.
Anything would be a better resolution than trying to sue Google [with the deep-pockets].
