I don't think Google every owned it, it was never confirmed. But I'm not sure.

Google was in talks to buy it, and the strong rumors were that a deal was close.  Amazon got it last minute as it appears the Google deal fell apart.

Google backed out due to anti-trust issues, but they paved the way for Amazon to sweep on in and get it for some $970 million.

Which is good for me. Hopefully they'll stop messing with stuff like this copy right bs they're doing. It's killing my stream.
