It's not about copyright or anti–copyright — it's about how you will get fined 500 million dollars and go to prison for life for downloading a song, but a big company can download all the songs and get away with it for about tree fiddy. It's about the double standard.
And then Anna's Archive downloads all the songs, with the intent to share them with the companies that were allowed to download them anyway, and gets the USA to shut down all aspects it can reach.
It's not about following the law — it's about avoiding penalties in practice.
Did they get penalised? Is anyone getting penalised? No? Then there's no reason for legal to block it.
And remember when you put the GPL license on a project, that's only worth your willingness to sue anyone who violates, otherwise your project is public domain.
Google's revenue comes from Google's ads, not other people's ads, and they already know when you open your emails. They should block remote loading, to ensure their ad platform works better than other people's.
What I read between your lines: "I don't want to think about the code at all. It should only compile if it has no bugs. I don't like rapid prototyping. I feel stupid when people other than me feel they can program effectively with fewer safeguards."
