Google cheated ad partners, says lawsuit, but case points to dirty tricks campaign

(Gigaom): http://gigaom.com/2014/05/21/google-cheated-ad-partners-says-lawsuit-but-case-points-to-dirty-tricks-campaign/

    "A class action case accuses Google of defrauding its AdSense
     partners.  The claims seem far-fetched but the case was filed by
     a famous lawyer suggesting the case may be the work of a
     corporate competitor ... If you think there may be something
     rotten in Denmark (or Seattle), you're probably right. The new
     lawsuit over ads, along with another improbable class action
     filed against Google last month, suggests that someone is running
     what amounts to a legal smear campaign."
