| Google is trying to cancel copyright by funding multiple non-

| lawsuits to abuse copyrights.
|
| Russia is treated as a partner and has special access to yt,
| allowing russia to skirt copyright strikes.
|
| Google is also claiming they can resell your content, which they
| are doing in other countries, and you get no cut. You agree to
| this in their TOS.

| Business casual says Google makes 8 billion a year on pirated
| content.
