"All customers will receive an email explaining the refund, and yes, it includes a link where they can update their credit card info"

Great. So in the next two days we can expect a flood of phishing emails looking like Google.

Thats actualy a good idea! I like that idea of extending google news to youtube.

And in a way, it kinda fits, Google's two most lawsuit prone products are tied together.

Now if only they coul add adwords in there, litigationcentral.com seems to be a good domain name for that service...

tune it was stupid in the first place I doubt those

cc details were different at all for most people. When you are

as large as Google you can expect your share of lawsuits how

many months has MS gone without a litigation and they are

far more culpable for most of the crap they get accused of.

Not a bad reaction time for a complete screw up nice to know

there are times when even Google gets the message.

Ummmmmmmmmmm

Google's response that many were not using the same CC is idiotic. Let's leave aside that many people don't bother changing their credit card companies. It is good practise, for many reasons, to refund back to the original source and if the bank in question has issued a new CC then the refund will be forwarded on in any case.

to update credit card details....

Cue a phishing attack?

I mean, google video DTO/DTR customers will be expecting an email from google, will they check close enough that the email they receive is actually genuine?

Do No More Evil When We Get Caught At It ?

Actually, the new slogan is the same as before, but with a new phrase tagged on: "Stupidity is not evil, so we're OK."
