Obviously this person isn't the only person in Spain with that name, and the argument was that a piece in local paper was coming top in Google searches, when more recent items were further down the page and on subsequent pages, one again his argument was that the report about him was less relevant than the newer items that cropped up, that is what the court also decided.

Lets say you own a Flower Shop and you really like Tulips... you like Tulips better than Roses. You want to put the Tulips in the front of the store and keep the Roses in the back. It's your store- you should be able to do that, no?

Now some guy from Spain comes into your store. He said his boss came by yesterday very upset Roses weren't in the front and his Boss got mad at him over it even though it wasn't his choice or his fault. And he demands you move the Roses to the front.

You politely say no thanks, it's your store, you like Tulips.

Now this guy goes to an EU court and gets them to force you to move the Roses upfront and the Tulips to the back, and people agree it is a good decision. Unbelievable.
