[citation][nom]Wayitis[/nom]"Why should Google spend all this money on something that will not help prevent piracy?"Missing the point, the bottom line is that there is no law or real governance of the internet regarding fair and responsible business practices and there needs to be one without these cowboy agencies running around and suing everyone in creation.Easy example is pawn shop law:Sec. 371.181. STOLEN GOODS. (a) A pawnbroker shall monitor goods purchased, accepted in pawn, or otherwise acquired by the pawnbroker in order to identify and prohibit transactions involving stolen goods.(b) The Finance Commission of Texas shall adopt rules that allow
1) a consumer who has filed an offense report with a local law enforcement agency to request that a pawnbroker search the records of the pawnshop; and(2) the pawnbroker to assist the consumer and the local law enforcement agency in locating and recovering stolen property. Obviously Google has a HUGE load on their hands if they were ever expected to comply with anything like the above law and I'm not saying that they should be held to the same. Bottom line is that, although unintentionally, Google has become much like a fence for stolen goods.[/citation]
Stop putting theft and copyright infringement in the same context. Nothing was stolen, that crappy movie or cd with songs is still sitting on the store front. A COPY of something is NOT theft get it through your thick skull. This is copy right infringment we are talking about.
