I would guess that depends on how well that startup's lawyers argued the case. Considering how Judge Chin felt about this before the arguments started (he was somewhat skeptical that this was fair use) and how much effort he put into his judgement, I would say Google's lawyers did a fair amount of work explaining to the judge why they were doing this, what the benefits to society were, and how they're controlling it to be of benefit to the copyright holder.
