Highly relevant. Google will monetize fully automated mistakes and you're saying it's OK because the victims can manually clean up the mess later?

  No information on the web is 100% perfect or accurate. Even the NYT makes a host of mistakes daily across all its edited articles, and publishes corrections for the most serious ones when readers point them out. Google's results are largely accurate, and as long as it has a mechanism for correcting mistakes does seem to make it pretty OK to me. What are you suggesting any serious alternative be? That would actually work at scale?

        Not copying stuff is trivially scaleable to infinity. Seriously, if you can't do something at scale, don't do something at scale. Being shitty to everyone involved and then saying "but can't scale with profits" is not OK.
