The Gray Lady Snipes at Google Play
September 2, 2015
Yo, gentle reader, the Alphabet Google is misspelling these days. The European Commission is annoying with its inquiries. I heard that India, yep, India, is starting to view the GOOGs as worthy of a probe.
I read “Rousting the Book Pirates from Google.” (David Segal, New York Times, August 30, 2015, page 3 of the Business Section) The Gray Lady finds the GOOGs newsworthy. I don’t by the way. For me, the GOOGs have been playing by their rules since 2006. I wonder why no one noticed when the GOOGs shifted from relevance to math club monetization.
The write up focuses attention on alleged Google Play and its emergence as “a den of iniquity and veritable cesspool of piracy.”
The GOOGs are busy. As the write up points out, the problem of a particular pirated or illegal or cesspool book has been resolved.
I found it encouraging that Google’s staff are “pleasant.”
There you go. Pleasant.
