      How their lawyers allowed this is insane

      I’m pretty sure Google’s legal team knows a thing or two about copyright law. If they think this is fair use, then I’m inclined to believe it might be.

        they just think they having tons of money to throw at a potential lawsuit means nobody will dare suing them.

        It’s that they know that it’s more profitable to seek forgiveness than to ask permission.

        Get sued? Hah; okay see you in court in ten years. Meanwhile, profit. They can do it over and over and it will always be beneficial.

        There needs to be SEVERE sanctions for these violations. Like in the millions. That’s the only way they’d stop. They just don’t care at all.
