I hate google so much is unreal. Any other business/natural person doing things like this will cease immediately but google can do it.

This is just one more demonstration on how colluded are Google and the US government.

They paid the damages that the gov't was seeking, thus avoiding a jury trial. You could do this too if you were ever sued by the gov't for damages, it isn't a tool that's only available to Google.

Thanks for the clarification

If you get a speeding ticket and agree to pay the speeding ticket instead of going to court, you can feel as powerful as Google.
