Well sure, but just because there isn't a solution, doesn't mean Google should foot the bill. The PRS, and organisations like it, face a battle against technology, as the ease at which an individual can pirate content and get away with it is largely proportional to how cheap bandwidth and storage are. Ultimately I don't think they can prevail, as it seems unlikely that current technological trends will stop any time soon.
Google is a figurehead of cheap bandwidth and storage, but ultimately the problems the PRS faces are global trends. Attacking Google is like attacking the snowflakes before an ice age. It's not fair on the snowflakes, and won't do the members of the PRS any good in the long term. Either they adapt to a more hostile climate, or be crushed under the glacier of the information age.
