A pornographer is suing Google for being a search engine. WTF? ROTFLMAO
(snip)

It says Google also shows stolen Perfect 10 photos on other websites, enabling people to view without paying.

Google declined to comment, saying it had not seen the suit yet.

"They're showing pictures from my magazine and my website for free, so there's no reason for anyone to buy my products," Perfect 10 president Norm Zada told Reuters news agency.

He said he was suing Google for an unspecified amount of damages for violating copyright and harming his ability to make profits.
