Look, the guy is running a business that is competing with Google. Moreover, his revenue model is perceptible (NXDomain redirects) while Google's revenue model is far from perceptible (silent aggregation of your entire internet experience: browsing, emailing, and search history).

I think some day when there is a massive privacy violation at Google we will understand what the costs of Google really are.

Until then, I don't think it's unreasonable to cut this guy some slack. His business is now directly in the crosshairs of the most powerful company in the world. I wish him good luck.
