from the article "You do not own the things you pay for." That is right! You buy a license that gives you right to consume the content. It is not just Google's fault, everyone is doing this! I believe reason it is so is because of greed and incompetence. The incompetence becomes apparent when you try to use the content you have access to and it doesn't work. I am more than willing to pay for content, but once availability breaks down, a use case for piracy/free use is created.
