I'd find it iffy if Google does manage to dodge this. Copyright infringement is a growing problem for smaller webmasters (to whom the threat of legal action can't just be brushed away) and I can't see why Google should be allowed to bury their head in the sand.

As I understand it you do not have permission to share copyrighted content (be it through filesharing or through hosting it for streaming or downloading on your site). If you do you those who hold the copyright can take you to court.
