> threatens free speech on the global internet," wrote Judge Edward Davila of the US District Court for Northern California. Really, pulling listings for a counterfeit product is a free speech issue?

That's dumb.

Google initially de-indexed 345 specific webpages associated with Datalink on google.ca.

Equustek then sought an injunction to stop Google from displaying any part of the Datalink websites on any of its search results worldwide.

Google already agreed to pull the listings. It's when they wanted the whole website removed that they pushed back.

False according to the article you cited - Google could go to court in Canada with a request... as it always could. One can request anything, almost, in a court, or sue anyone. But can you win.
