    the point is, that a company like Google and its google of lawyers gets away with murder... if I started a company today that jsut copied books, videos and websites and displayed then on my URL... there would be a 3 second trial that would result in my hanging. Google also aquired... the largest video piracy company youtube.com. A perfect fit since Google is in the piracy or at best copy right infringment business and allready has its leagal department geared up for those fights.. it does *not* matter whether they help or hurt the person they are violating..
