>> Correct me if I make mistakes, but if a merchant in a local shopping mall sells pirate products, the merchant and the mall will be fined.

bad, bad, bad analogy. First, there is no damage done to him, and this is not even a serious case. I hope the judge fines this ---- and makes him pay Google's legal bills.

Second, Google in this case is the store (if that idiot is suing regarding ads on Adsense) but even then, Google might be responsible only if they manually approved them.
