While legal issues may be the reason Google didn’t do this, it is hardly possibility. I don’t see value in a comment like this. If you have more information or insider knowledge, share it.
Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, whoever. It's a massive and lucrative market, yet the legal challenges are well established. Some sites have been shut down, and the remaining big sites are outside of US jurisdiction and/or really really shady.
