Google upset because they want to own all links and tell webmasters what they can and can't do. The reason why it is an issue is due to two factors: 1. Links affect their results 2. Links make money They have to understand that money buys all business unless you are lucky to get referrals. They need to bite the bullet and understand that the real world works in the same way. Its a money and popularity contest. Money gets you places. Thats why no one cares about my comment right now and thats why it wont make a difference. Money is the root of all evil.
