The way Google indexes sites are different, and that have also been made clear by the court.
There have been loads of cases in the EU with "Deep-linking" as they call it, where even kids below the age of 15 get fined huge amounts for posting links on forums. (the case against Sharereactor.com)

That's still different coz the people POSTING got fined not the site that
indexes the links. If the site is just an index or crawler that indexes links
then you bypass the whole service facilitating pirating content.
If it would be that easy then all of them would have been closed by now.
Thepiratebay.org gets sued on a daily basis and is still live
