Until you said it, I hadn't realized just how big a factor this is. Replace Valve with nearly any other company in this space, and at least one person would have alluded to "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish". Valve built SteamOS a

Hell, even Android, which had built-in VOIP support in the default AOSP dialer app, had VOIP support ripped out. It now requires a third party app.

I strongly suspect we're talking past each other. The man under investigation didn't make "a search" that Google deemed unsavoury. The police department conducted a search of his account, looking for any additional examp

You man the search into his account by the San Fransisco PD ? Who later cleared him of any wrongdoing? Note that Google, after hearing from the police, stood by their choice as well.

~2.5:1 is a far cry from your $100,000 cost with $1 return though, and GPs point still stands: increasing funding, even if just until the return is ~1.5:1 (less than the guesstimated ~2.5:1), is clearly a sound investment.

You seem to be about a decade out of date, per your wikipedia link. It states ~72% of music (down from ~88% in 2012) is owned by the big three (not four, after EMI was eaten by Sony in late 2011). Best of all, parent may have the right idea

Other users also report their upload and download. Ergo, if you say you uploaded 10gig, it would show up in other users' download. This is tracked and checked, and you'll be kicked if you try to play the system this way.
