A lot of times, the obvious _must_ be stated or else companies do whatever they want because "it's not written anywhere that I can't".

  Yes but ... this was not simply about them doing whatever *they* want. This was about them legally forcing others to also do what *they* want --- with private hardware and software and infrastructure that *they* have no logical, legal, moral or ethical claim to. The sheer arrogance required to even ask for a court ruling is kinda astounding. The ad industry needs to take a step back and reexamine their game plan. All this tact will do is build more incentive and determination to block them.

    Given that advertising is lying, it's not surprising that the ad industry would ask for such unethical license. I think it was predictable that Google would turn to the dark side based on their advertising revenue source.

      Don't be evil This was really a warning. The fact they tried to sell this foretold exactly what was on their mind and where they were headed.
