The author is arguing that Google is going to be the only one that gets to do this in the first place. They've changed the game in that they can have no competitors. If Google wasn't doing this, it would still be possible for someone else to step in and do it right. In that light, they've changed quite a bit. * note: I'm not really familiar with the court case here, so I have no idea if the author is making a valid assertion or not.
