arstechnica.com — A significant collection of media giants have accused Google of aiding two piracy websites by both directing traffic to those sites and by selling advertising for them. Legal filings show that Google worked with EasyDownloadCenter.com and TheDownloadPlace.com, generating more than $1.1 million in revenue for the sites through the AdSense program.

We might think that Google was engaged in piracy, but I truly believe that if they hadn't done these things, the internet would be no where near where it is today.....Piracy fuels the internet, it's the main reason why the internet keeps growing......800 million users worldwide / Billions of people on the planet.

Yes! Let's make it illegal to sell anything to pirates! Let 'em die (ARRRGH!). Oh and by the by let's get all American companies out of any country whose politics we disagree with too. Oh can we stop the record / film companies from selling to people we don't like? I think we may be on to something here

interesting these big media are owned by top by News Corp., Viacom, Sony, NBC Universal, Time Warner, and Disney, is Google getting so powerful that the top media needs to be scared... interesting that all the newspapers most of the online media (not including blogs and most people who dislike big media) is owned by News Corp., Viacom, Sony, NBC Universal, Time Warner, and Disney, how interesting and how quick the webpages have turned... Google is the only company really doing everything different and more moral, ethical, fair, balanced, unbiased than any of those big medias, from the benefits it provides its employees to doing an untradional ipo offering so more of the real public not the bigwigs from big corporations, to buying upstarts that were going out of business just to keep the market alive, to donating to many opensource groups to doing so much good in the world (it's not even funny) but whoopie f**king do big media who has been in control for too f**king long wants to squelch the voice of the people, well good luck google, I'm not going to give up on you and sensitive s**t
