You believe that I think they don't already? |
| [05:15] Lenny:
The important point is that Google don't sell their information - they'd be selling things to their competition that could hurt them. |
| [05:16] Lenny:
They also publicly refuse requests for information from governments quite regularly. |

Publicly they may refuse, but do they actually refuse? There is a difference. |

I don't really care whether Google is benefitting from giving out my info, if they are collecting info on me and giving it out to someone even to prosecute me for a crime, I'd rather use another service that isn't doing that to me |

Before long doing something as simple as googling the word "torrent" may end up putting you on a watch list or something |

It's US law that any company that collects information on people must submit it if presented with a warrant. |

If The Pirate Bay were to start their own google-esque search engine, e-mail service, etc. I'd switch to it over Google in a heartbeat |
