Edit: wrong thread.

I would gladly pay for Google support, and I've stated as much in the past.

I have paid for Microsoft support, and it was a great experience. Microsoft is (or was) as big or bigger than Google, and used by a significant fraction of the population.

So, it can be done. Google doesn't want to do it.

Did you reply to the wrong comment? The discussion here is about whether the content owner should make a polite request to the creator of an infringing app rather than filing a takedown notice with Google. Google's lack of support is legendary, but not relevant.

Yes, I got two threads mixed up :( .

I agree that the original content owners shouldn't have to contact the creators (it would be nice though, most are way too overzealous).
