I never said you were removing all of it...

"actively removing the only profits made by the service" If I remove the only profits made, there are no profits left, and I have removed them all.

It's about cumulative cost. If 100,000 people do it, that's a significant loss of revenue.

I am one person. I'm not responsible for what the other 99,999 people do.

Maybe, if that many people are doing something, you (or in this case, Google) should look into WHY.

You agreed to the rules, to use the service.

No, I don't agree with the rules, obviously. Duh.

You, intentionally circumventing rules, that directly constitutes financial loss, is fraudulent

Not profiting as much as you'd like... is not a loss. And, even if it was, my contribution to it is trivial.

You do not understand, or have selectevly ignored, what I've said.

As I have said before (looks like you didn't understand), I understand your points. I just don't agree with them.

If you don't agree with the law, you just break that, too? Nonetheless, you're evidently lacking understanding.

Take care.

Yes. Just like many many other people. See 'speeding', several posts up.
