Data-mining, indexing, quotations, meta-data, have all been extracted before. It seems more like the degree to which Google are/want to do it, rather than the idea to do it?
If I get the same treatment as Google before the law then doesn't this mean I can copy any whole corpus of work, use it, recopy it, share it, make derivative works, etc., all as long as at the end I write something new - a music track inspired by their work, say? That appears to be what the judge is saying when applied to other works??
