I don't think that's a fair example, because the issue is not about inaccurate data (the view count), but illegally gathered data.

An analog example would be stealing paint and painting your car with it. Should the paint be stripped off the car and given back? I don't know, but the victims are entitled to compensation, which isn't happening in the Google/Amazon case.



With your paint analogy, it feels like a "you wouldn't download car paint" situation.
