Google Fixes Mistake in Closing Video; Offers Full Refund - Google Community

Here's a great resolution on the Google Videos shutdown fiasco. Instead of merely offering refunds in the form of Google Checkout credits, they're now giving full refunds. This is in addition to any Checkout credit you've gotten, if you did purchase videos.

I don't know anyone who actually bought from Google Video, but I hear most of the people who did are from the media and reviewers who were testing the service.

Good for Google to set this right. At least they actually have the money to comfortably do so.

It is more profitable to be ethical. - RapLeaf

RapLeaf says,

It is more profitable to be ethical.

Their goal is "to make it more profitable to be ethical."

This seems like a very dangerous idea to me. Sometime down the road, one has to ask: If something is more profitable, is it therefore ethical?

Profits can then be used to justify ethics. It becomes the scale by which ethical behavior is measured.

Stealing is profitable.
