Hollywood is not in the UK. In the US, true statements are not defamation. There is plenty of damage Hollywood could do to Google purely by telling the truth.

Well in the UK true statements are not defamation either (as of a change in legislation last year).

My point is more that if Hollywood were lying about Google then Google would have legal recourse. If they are not then Google will just have to suck it up.
