As I mentioned in a previous discussion on this [0], I would investigate removal of those websites from google by quoting google's terms of service:
"Cloaking refers to the practice of presenting different content or URLs to human users and search engines. Cloaking is considered a violation of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines because it provides our users with different results than they expected.
Some examples of cloaking include:
...
Inserting text or keywords into a page only when the User-agent requesting the page is a search engine, not a human visitor." [1]
That you're able to provide the same view shown to google isn't exactly 'bypassing' anything.
