On the other hand, the IWF removed even the Wikipedia version of the file from the blacklist... So most likely they won't do anything about Google.
Don't forget that was after jimbo said he was considering sueing because even the IWF had it checked and it was only "possibly" illegal, they never got confirmation, it would the same in court say if someone was stopping people from entering a store and claiming their carrot cake had rat poison in it without checking.
I hadn't realised he had said that - does anyone have a link?

Cheers. That says his first thought was to sue but he'd been told it probably wouldn't work - that's quite different to him actively considering suing (for a start, its not his decision, either Sue or the whole board would decide on the advice of Mike). I doubt that report had any influence on the IWF decision to withdraw.
