Default Who here thinks that Google is helping the scammers?

Okay Even though I'm new here this thread will sound strange to people,to me for starters,Why does google support the scammers by advertising their scam sites knowing the scammers steal other peoples money. I mean why is such a giant company taking money from customers that was from a point of view stolen from people.

Google helps a lot of people find what they are looking for

Like someone mentioned before. Just maybe it's karma kicking peoples butts for trying to get copyright music for free

But why does Google display these scam sites, In my opinon Its just like having a ad on the town notice board saying to go down this alley way or somthing and get cheap music etc etc but you get your bag snached by the people who put the ad there.

I think the reason is obvious. As with most things in this world, it's all about money. Google has to answer to it's stock holders and advertising is how they make thier money. I think that the ads must be legal. So as the old saying goes "Let the buyer beware".

Edit: I don't think they're helping scammers, I think they're just doing business.

I agree, it's about the money. Google does it with more than just these "scam sites". They do it on a lot of occasions. There are just a ton of scam sites that are all willing to pay Google, so yeah, you find a lot of ads for these scam sites on Google.
