I couldn't open the first article. I tried to copy and paste it into the address bar but it said the page could not be displayed. The other one worked. That's pretty crazy that people can steal internet codes. That must be an interesting lawsuit to prove in court.

I can't believe a site that is SO reputable can get into such trouble. Yet, when you think about it, a site that is so reputable will do anything in order to stay number one in the eyes of many web users. I can honestly believe that Google did steal the code and that they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Well, I do believe that google probably did steal the code but I think that the company did that without thinking of any consequences would come in return. Technology is moving faster than the law, who is to say that using an internet code for another company is illegal anyway? Who does the code actually belong to, the company or the person that created it?
