Google are a bunch of lying hypocrites
The linked article outlines the reason I much rather spend my money on something by Apple or Microsoft than anything that Google had its hands in.
With companies like Apple, Microsoft, HP, etc. life is pretty simple: They want my money, preferably loads of it and they don’t make a secret of it. For that I get products and services and no bullshit.
Google on the other hands just wants information, because knowledge is power and there is NO company more power hungry than Google. Not one.

Warner Bros. Sued for Pirating Anti-Piracy Tech
Hypocrisy at its best:
via grindlebone:
Warner Bros. is notorious for its attempts to squash piracy, which have included suing popular music search sites and hiring interns whose sole purpose is to find pirated content and issue takedown notices. The company also began embedding each film distributed to theaters and critics with a unique identifier, so that Warner could trace leaked and pirated movies back to their source. But, in a piece of delicious irony, it seems that Warner Bros. may have actually stolen this technology from a German company called Medien Patent Verwaltung (MPV).
If this is accurate, they should have to pay back each and every penny, they took from other people in their witch hunt lawsuits.
