It's not an illegal practice, just an immoral one. I don't see why you think something has to be in court to be proved true. Their sting operation that they ran on Bing was incredibly conclusive.

Maybe I'm not understanding the gravity of what Bing is doing...

Its a search engine that is apparently using resources from other search engines. Why is this wrong?


It's not "using resources" it's actually sampling data. Basically, Bing isn't searching anything but Google. So, if you search something on Bing, you're just taking Google data. I think that's rather wrong. It's like if you write a report, do all the work and research, and I just recopy it with my name on it in my own handwriting. That's what Bing does to Google. It's a form of plagiarism, but again, not illegal, just not particularly moral, and frankly kinda childish and pathetic.
