Anyone trying to keep an e-commerce site afloat didn't ' and still doesn't ' need to read the newspaper to realize the business downturn: the grim news appears every day in the cash till, in the aging-of-receivables report, and in overdue payables.

For most of the decade, Silicon Valley technology startups have assumed that Google would pay their legal bills. Not literally, mind you, but rather by taking on the big, high-profile cases about fair use, interoperability and other digital intellectual property issues that would set precedents upon which all disruptive innovators could rely. Well, Google just put the Valley on notice that the free ride is over, which means more legal burdens for smaller technology companies that previously depended on Google clearing a path for them.
