And expect their contractors to ask all their employees? What if one of those
contractors is IBM?
That could lead to an "I'm PJ" moment :-)

If Google has a list of all its contractors and employees
(highly likely) and of those indirect employees who have
worked specifically for Google through a contractor
(probable), it would still be near impossible to do the
following between now and the Friday deadline:
1. Contact each and every one of these people, a small
percentage of whom may not have told Google their phone
number or high priority e-mail.
2. Expect that none of the e-mails and voice mail messages
sent to these people are lost in automated anti-spam
filters.
3. Wait for people (spread across the globe) to wake up and
check their messages. This includes the time needed to
return from summer holidays.
4. Wait for each person to realize the urgency of the
question.
5. Wait for each person to formulate a legally truthful
answer and submit it to Google.
6. Wait for the answers to reach Googleplex.
7. Collate and sort through the answers, especially those
that didn't simply answer yes or no.
8. File the resulting list of indirectly paid commentators
with the court.
Allowing Google's legal team just 24 hours to do steps 1, 6,
7 and 8, this will still require each person questioned to
complete steps 2 to 5 in just 48 hours.
Especially at this time of year, it is not uncommon for
people to be incommunicado for longer than that. Regular
people may be on a summer vacation (postponed from
June/July), Scientists traditionally spend August visiting
each other for conferences and symposiums (with or without
gallons of wine), high end consultants may be on a job for
another costumer.
