Re: Google should temp block EU IPs...

And lose immediate market share as people leave to use other services due to this tactic? Probably have shareholders bouncing off the walls which would immediately reduce the share price and therefore the net worth of the company. Add to this all the ad revenue that disappears due to this and the number of companies sueing for them pulling the ad services when they've already paid for it... Would probably be safer for them to say Yes to the EU and we'll look into it and will take 5 years to complete in which case they have a new model that provides the same thing but isnt bound by that particular EU ruling.
