Re: Google-bashing aside...
It's really amusing. The Evil isn't in Canada (anymore), but feeds off a Canadian company's customers (who aren't really in Canada either, so Geoblocking at Canadian ISP's is pointless). The Court really does not have the power to help, but it knows someone who might...
So the Court reaches out of Canada, grabs a passing Google by the scruff, and drops them, flapping and squalking, on top of the extra-territorial Evil to smother it, where it will hold them, maintaining pressure, until the problem goes away :)
"Sorry Google, I know this one isn't your fault, but, dangit, you're just so convenient, eh?" :-)
We'll see this more and more, simply because Google are the *only* entity with the necessary power, and needs must when the devil drives.
