So, if I steal your paycheck, invest it, make a small profit on it for myself, and then give it back to you slightly increased, then I was justified in stealing it? The internet has people confused. Easy is not the same thing as ethical.
I am always amazed that some publishers consider that Amazon are worthy bedding partners whilst Google are a dastardly demon. In my eyes, both corporations are control freaks who are looking to dominate the marketing place without paying a fair price for their "stock".
Me thinks that like most 600lb gorillas they will meet their day of reckoning in the jungle.
