Exactly how are Google's actions legal? Customers purchase devices with capabilities, in this case they purchased Fire TV devices that had Google capabilities on them.

Google turns off/removes that capability - how are these customers not financially harmed, and how is this not class-action lawsuit worthy?

This is why I don't buy Google devices. Seriously.

Probably way down there in the software users agreement that no one reads yet you have to say okay to. That would be my guess. It might go to court, let’s watch and see.

The people that bought Amazon Fire TV Sticks bought their sticks from Amazon, not Google/Youtube. Google had nothing to do with those sales. You seem to think that Google/Youtube should be required to provide its content to anyone and everyone that wants it. That's not the way things work in a free country.

Around here people and companies are free to do business with or not do business with whomever they please as long as they are not discriminating based on certain legally protected categories. I'm pretty sure that "purchaser of Amazon Fire TV Stick" is not a legally protected category.

Do you think that you have the right to force Google to do business with you against their will?
