But I guess that is part of the business - just always have to be one step ahead, and make the others play catch up
It's a sad reality of this biz - My brand names get scraped and SEO'd by thieving fuckers on a regular basis.

But what do you do, when even a search on an SE starts with your query and links it to the SE's crony club.

Look and feel complaints like this one, do have merit, but they are hard to dispute. It's not a copyright violation if the images are licensed by each party.

I'd love to be in the courtroom as lawyers split shaved hairs over '5 horizontal vaginas with two brunette and three blonde...'

The best defense is be the best. Secure your brands if they do apply and enforce them, but be the best.
