Rosetta Stone sued Google for allowing people to big on their name in AdWords. These people were selling counterfeit software, and Rosetta Stone went after Google to stop it.

There is a WebmasterWorld thread now covering the decision. The thread links to a Reuters post which says:

As you can imagine, the thread has people arguing both sides. I like this exchange of talk in the thread. One persons said, “Whack-a-mole or not, you can’t go after the messenger. You can’t sue ABC, because it’s less tedious than suing XYZ.” Then someone replied “That would obviously depend on one’s definition of “messenger”.” Don’t you just love the law?
