JAIL TIME ALERT: Google should practice what it preaches more consistently.

If Google knows so much about earthly law and respects some governments over others, (i.e. peoples Privacy) as we see evidenced here,... then how does it find itself in the rookers of massive legal action in the United States for hording tons of intellectual property it doesn't own, and doesn't have a real buck of a chance to keep anyways? I find that massive parallelism very strange and not necessarily the right way to build a trusted brand image, long term success, and staying out of a felonious corporate lifestyle. Business practices and the reality of them to the degree of actions taken by principle owners of a company should be more well known.

The urgent need.

One day in the near future people will be put to death because Google fowards information on people who use its services.
