Search engines may penalize sites they discover using black hat SEO methods, either by reducing their rankings or eliminating their listings from their databases altogether. Such penalties can be applied either automatically by the search engines' algorithms, or by a manual site review. One infamous example was the February 2006 Google removal of both BMW Germany and Ricoh Germany for use of deceptive practices. Both companies, however, quickly apologized, fixed the offending pages, and were restored to Google's list.
Sounds like targeting them where it would most hurt them, via the search engines themselves, is the best route. Although knowing your dealings with Google before... they're not the most responsive company to complaints, are they
