You did read the bit about how Google was arbitrarily with-holding the advertising revenue his site had generated?

Sounds illegal to me.

If my bank decided they didn't want me as a customer anymore I'm pretty sure I'd want my deposits back (!!!). If I did some work for a customer and then they decided to keep the work, but not pay me, and wouldn't say why, I'm pretty sure they'd end up in court ASAP.

They withheld about that much money from me on the second time I reached the $100 minimum payout threshold.

The way Google treats publishers is appalling.

Man up, move to Australia, and sue the bastards.

I don't even have any evidence left.

I gave up on that website since I couldn't even make back the hosting costs.

It's okay, the risk of being massacred by the horrible Australian wildlife probably exceeds the reward anyway.
