The growth of Google into an everything digital company appears to be driving many competitors into complete revulsion. It has opened fronts against most of the other tech giants, continues to show a neglect for property-rights and copyrights, and has recently been probed (is being probed?) by the FTC for anti-trust problems.

Do you think this is all just sour grapes from companies having their toes stepped on by a giant? Interesting that Android is being sued for its use of Java, this I didn't know. I do know that ASCAP (copyrights association) despises Google, they send me a daily wave of news, at least one article of which is anti-Google. A lot of it is Google's advertising, which ASCAP firmly believes supports a host of infringing sights, and also a belief that Google drives traffic to these infringing sights to support their advertising business.

Anyway, discuss
