b) Google does what the Piratebay does. It points people to where illegal content is. Neither HOST the content. They just link to it. Google 'cs4 master edition torrent'.

If I forget to pay for a domain it comes down. Very fast and very easy.

And who do you think has the power to impose your awesome ideas for stopping selling ads, banning sites and altering ICANN ToS?
The Great God of the Interwebz? After all, it is just a series of tubes, right?
