The point is that Google is not going to publish/sell a single audiobook made from copyrighted material without the copyright holder's permission. How that content gets created is going to be between Google and the rightsholder. It's a nothingburger that you're trying to make sound nefarious.
And "found not to be illegal" is not the same thing as "previously illegal activity made legal." Your anti Corp bias is showing.
