Aladon vs Das-Web

According to Heise, a German court issued an injunction for search engine Das-Web.net to stop list the name Aladon in its result pages. Insurance broker Peter Zinke of Aladon.de saw his brand name abused and went to court. Apparently, Das-Web.net when searching for Aladon displayed a lot of competitors first, along with links to their pages – but the actual Aladon result was neither first nor directly linked when it appared after several results. This sounds an awful lot like a spammy search engine indeed, and it would be interesting to see what actually happens. However, Das-Web is currently down when you want to perform searches.
