Extortion blackmail

Resellerratings.com has recently changed policies and is now extorting merchants into subscribing to their "service". By "service", I mean the luxury of rebutting public comments made about one's business. Unless merchants are willing to pay Resellerratings.com a monthly charge ranging from $29 to $249, inaccurate and slanderous material may appear on their site without the opportunity for a merchant to rebut. Additionally, Google's "Shopping" engine pulls heavily on Resellerratings.com's merchant ratings.
Many other merchants belonging to a fraud prevention group (of which I'm a member) are outraged. We've brought our concerns to the site's owner. His only response has been to somewhat soften the negative connotation he displays for non-paying merchants. He will not, however, allow merchants the opportunity to rebut comments without being extorted.
Further, there is no way to remove your business from his site, and he hides behind the Communications Decency act stating that he's not responsible for content posted on his site.
