That's not for anyone but google to decide.

And now you are doing an about-face. You obviously DO disagree.

If you aren't using the other chair in your living room, what's
wrong with someone just walking in off the street and sitting
there?

After all, YOU aren't using it, and they aren't abusing it... 

How about that car of yours? You aren't using it right now,
you are at your computer....

If you can't do it up front, notifiying google, then
you are a petty criminal.  Playing word games like a
slimeball politician doesn't change anything.

From what I know about you already, I'd think twice
about letting you in my home. You are obviously capable
of rationalizing away other people's property rights
with great ease. Bet you steal your employer blind.
After all, he/she/they are not paying you what you are
really worth, right? And they can certainly spare the
relatively tiny percentage of their net worth you pilfer,
right?

And I'll bet that if someone took liberties with YOUR
property, that your righteous outrage would know no
bounds.
