My first reaction was much like Google's - Unfair! Cheating! Boo!
But Mike's right. That's a childish attitude.
To take the test analogy that's been thrown around, if your concern was "Who is the best student in the class?", then yes, cheating would be wrong. But if your concern was "Can we (as a class) answer all the questions as completely as possible?", then complaining that your hard work on one question was piggybacked by someone else is...well, childish.
Possessiveness misses the point.
Google's response in words was immature. But words, tss. Let's hope their actions - what really matters - will speak better of them though.
