[OT] Well, let's just say that we are opposite each other then. Capitalism is good. Greed is not necessarily a part of capitalism. Besides that this is a moral question and moral has no place in laws. I think people have the right to what they have earned as long as it wasn't earned through illegal coercion.
It is wrong for other persons to sit down and do nothing and then steal the hard work of other people. Under NO circumstance do I care if lazy people think life is unfair.
Google uses the information from our searches, and it uses that to make a dollar.
Yes yes, and you don't pay for the searches with money. You pay with information. If you don't like it, don't use it. Make your own indexing engine. Go ahead. Store x billion websites on your harddrive - or start paying for searching.
