I'm very glad to hear Google's ninja attorneys are finally earning their paychecks rather than opting for the lazy/quick 'settle out of court' route, which is ultimately futile.
And then, publicize the hell out of it. Use an angle like, "hey look, I'm not making anything worse, I'm not making your life more complicated with new laws, I'm not doing anything. None of the laws I'm passing or writing are taking away your freedoms, because I'm not writing or passing any new laws. You should elect me again."
The topic was cigarette warning labels... but the principle is the same. (heavily excerpted, memory-wash paraphrased)
There's this guy, and he wants to pass a law requiring the warning label on cigarettes to be bigger.
As if we've just never noticed before.
... "Yeah Bill, I've got some cigarettes--holy shit! Have you seen this warning? I thought cigarettes were good for you, had vitamin C and stuff."
It doesn't matter how big the warning label is. You could cigarettes in a black pack with a skull and crossbones on them, called 'Tumors' and smokers would be lined up down the block to buy them.
The Beatles are using their 'Right to be Forgotten'.
Someday, the copyright will expire on the songs (19 years after Disney goes out of business would be my bet) and when that day comes, it is possible nobody will know who they are.

Re: Proper Alt
Here's a good course of action: Do nothing.
And then, publicize the hell out of it. Use an angle like, "hey look, I'm not making anything worse, I'm not making your life more complicated with new laws, I'm not doing anything. None of the laws I'm passing or writing are taking away your freedoms, because I'm not writing or passing any new laws. You should elect me again."
I'm telling you, it will work brilliantly.
Luv,

Epic level trolls can change peoples opinions, minds, and lives.
The best a disprovable/hyperbolic/opinion-only troll can do is give somebody momentary pause while annoying them.

Forgot to throw in 'freetard' or something to that effect. Aside from that, most perfect trolling I've seen all day.
HEY! You other trolls can go now, you've been outclassed. Try again tomorrow.
