It's just step 1.

Once you get the big players with heavy wallets out of the way, then you can go after search engines that list it. Search engines probably don't have enough motive to fight it, and the big players already packed their bags. Once it's no longer on Google/Bing it may as well not exist for the vast majority of people.
