There should be some real anti-trust concerns with Google providing answers to questions itself. Google gets those answers by crawling sites with content owned by others. It has avoided copyright issues by arguing that they only show a snippet of the content to aid finding the best search result, thus it is not reproduced in whole or in part, but that the searcher will still visit the page and benefit the copyright owner.
If Google just gives you the answer and there's no need to visit the page, then that is a much bigger issue I think.
