The problem in this case is that no other company would agree to pay 100% of revenue to Google Ireland for their services. Google Ireland is overcharging, not undercharging.

I would pay 100% revenue. Iād then just give it all away for free so my revenue was zero.

Congratulations, by forcing a company to sell to everyone indiscriminately, you've effectively seized their assets.
I don't really see the whole "let's unmake ownership and property rights" thing being feasible, but I've been wrong before.
I think the solution should be market based. Whatever rate google US gets from google Ireland should be available to any company and google Ireland should be forced to sell any services/ip to any company who requests it at that rate.
Doing anything else means the cost of the IP google Ireland charges to google US is made up.
