Still a little hard to understand, because the primary purpose of copyright is to exercise the sort of control we're talking about. It's a bit odd to think "how can any one have any control once anyone else see it..." because that's what copyright is about by definition: Laws controlling what other people can do with the work of other people that they have access to. The post reads like the concept of copyright has never been thought of.
The very simple (haha) issue here is: is what Google is doing crossing some spirit-of-the-law/letter-of-the-law line or not?
