Tax avoidance is not tax evasion. One has no legal or moral obligation to pay more than the minimum tax that is due. Google spent probably 10mm putting this tax strategy in place. Among the necessary steps they would have taken would be to get private tax rulings from the various tax jurisdictions stating that their plan was legal and conformed to the tax code. Google is not the only company to employ this strategy. Nearly every large American company does it also.
