How is that different than any company selling a product and someone using it for something illegal?<p>As in "Wal-mart profits from illegal baseball bats." Bats used for vandalism or assault.
The title could just have easily been "Google promptly takes down ads for counterfeit olympics tickets". How could they possibly have known that the ad purchaser was selling fake tickets?
Inflammatory title, flagged.<p>Regarding the Olympic ticket thing, from what I can tell the tickets weren't fake, it's just a contrived law that you can't resell Olympic tickets.
