So, is it kind of like this, where Google takes some of the profit and doesn't worry about whether the goods are pirated or not, because hey, profit!

Or... are you still "good" Google? Is this guy getting any help from Google yet?

The buy button goes to the retailers checkout and not to Google saving one click.

How is this any different that the link to the product and you than hit purchase. I fail to see the "Evil" in this.

Read the story.

I did read the story. The purchase is the stores purchase minus the click to the checkout box.

I'm talking about the story I linked, where someone is selling a pirated copy of an author's book on Google Play. Google is happily collecting a portion of the proceeds on the pirated book, while refusing to remove the pirated book from the marketplace. So.. not cool.
