Combating blog article theft by delaying RSS feeds

It means you can sue Google for damages, so that Google's responsibility becomes to prevent copyright thefts. That way, you don't have to run around trying to chase down a phantom no-name dude on the internet.

And if you can keep the copyright-theft'd works off of Google, Bing, and other big name search engines... then you've basically won in this day and age.

Yeah, its an extreme measure. But its pretty clear cut how Article 13 helps in this case. Link Tax (Article 11) may also play a role, but its less obvious IMO.

Nope. You can not. Google is not a content sharing platform which is what Article 13 is about.

You can do the same as before: Send a takedown request to google. Again, literally nothing changes here.
