- lutusp 12y agoConsider this from Google's position -- they see an activity that will make them look irresponsible or in collusion. To minimize damage to their reputation, they might want to stop the activity even if they can't fairly redistribute the ill-gotten gains afterward. Also, if legal authority decided to step in, Google would minimize their own liability and exposure by stopping the activity rather than by allowing it to continue. It also serves as a warning to others who might want to sell content they don't own -- it discourages a repetition of the same behavior.
