It is still probably peanuts to them but I hope they get totally Google slapped ( no pun ) they deserve it every last bit.

The Webmaster and affiliate community in large part generated some of the critical mass that allowed Google to become the mismanaged Goliath it now is, only to be burned.

So I hope they pay dearly in dollars, man power and lost productivity for every business they have ruined or crippled.

They must pay in hard coin for every job lost and for their appalling and irrefutable double standards such as their very discretionary application of their quality policies.

Double standards that kill competition and small businesses whilst others may thrive, for example Google search partners who seem to have a different Google rule book to the rest of us.

They have dished it out for long enough, about time they got theirs. Hopefully one small victory for the little guy.
