As far as the law is concerned, he did not violate anything. You do not have to prove yourself innocent, the burden is on the prosecutor to prove a violation. In the example you cite, no violation has been shown. It is not at all clear that WSJ intends Googlebot to get their content for free while others must pay. Thus is actually against Google's policies, which would actually call into question whether WSJ's behavior is felonius. WSJ may not be entitled to be incorporated into Google's index, yet they are manipulating the Googlebot to the contrary.
