Oh yes, you mean Google the search-engine (decent service, that). Or maybe Google the leaner? As in taking advantage of content like satellite imagery, mapping-database entries, and maybe-out-of-copyright books, and pretending they're providing the content. Oh, okay, Google the lifter too - but as in 'light fingers' lifting.
