It's much less clear in this case. What about displaying the title of the website, is that ok? Just about everyone would say yes. What about the first few sentences of the page? Ok, I think we are good here, probably ok. What about an intelligent snippet of the website that highlights your search terms? Well, ok we are starting to get a bit gray, because now for some searches we don't need to go to the website anymore. But is it wrong or illegal? Well what about formatting that in a nice way that prominently displays the answer to your query? Well now we have an issue, but how big of a leap was it to get there? But is it wrong because they targeted the website and built parsers specifically for it, or because it is done at all? I don't know. But I think it was a slippery slope that got them there.
