Google accused of racketeering in lawsuit
> Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but a judge in the case noted last year that the firm has argued that Attia gave Google rights to his technology “without a condition of later payment.”So Google's defense isn't even that the substance of the accusations are false, but that they had the legal ability to do so?Is this common behavior for Google, if the story is true?This may be naive, but it seems downright illogical to act like that with a reputation as huge and important as Google's. I'd be concerned if I were a collaborator.
