Re: Is Google Evil?

I have to disagree with the premise that if we quash Google, the internet will be less innovative. While this may be true, at what cost is innovation worth the way Google treats small business and the dishonest and illegal use of Adwords on plagiarized websites (such as I am constantly battling with). Google is very arrogant and will not even answer to such illegal use of this content.

As an extreme analogy to this comment about innovation over morality, I will site WW2 Germany; many innovations came out at this time, but at what cost? Personally the evil that came out of this regime was far worse than the innovations.
Admittedly this analogy is a bit extreme, but tell that to my family for which Google is literally taking food from their mouth and to which I have to work 16 hour days to make up for the time lost defending my articles which a source of income and a way of driving business for me.

While I appreciate the content and tests put forth in this insightful article, I think a check was missing and this is Adwords/Adsense.
When this is thrown into the equation, Google fails miserably as I do not find too much plagiarized content (at least content not providing adequate hyperlinks) without Google Adwords/Adsense on them in Google Search, HOWEVER when these Google Ads are present plagiarized content on Google searches increases measurably.
I know this because my articles that represent 14 hour days and 30 years of work show up often in these Google Searches, with Google NEVER returning emails to correct this problem. Sadly this search engine denies the original and updated content these same ads, go figure on honesty nowadays
