I understand what you're getting at, but you're way off the mark here:
> The magazine publishers are free to configure their magazines and the world around them in any way they wish. The newstand operator is responsible for what goes on inside his stand. If he's serving up junk, do we go blaming the rest of the world for the quality of his service?
There's a difference between selling junk and selling something that's obviously criminal. If you walked into a store where every magazine had "VIAGRA - 50% OFF. MAIL US YOUR MONEY". Do you honestly mean to tell me that the magazines in question were perfectly ok and it was the magazine vendor who did something wrong?
It's good that you realize that it's humans that are committing crimes, and not subhuman beings. But that doesn't excuse them nor should you.
Yes, Google has some level of responsibility here and they should be held accountable. But they're not the ones actually committing the crime.
