I'm just wondering on what premise exactly you would sue google over copyright infringement?

All they do? They are a earch engine. According to lawyers they control and oversee what is put on there search engine. They have the right to blacklist sites and ban sites for any reason but not do the same for piracy issues or other unlawful acts? They are also based in the U.S and therefore under U.S law. That's like saying I started youtube and i am not held liable to what is uploaded. You would sue google not for money but for not properly watching what they allow to be put up. This case would be bring up a lawsuit to scare them into policing there search engines because they are liable for copyright infringement tubes/sites that is making money etc. This also goes for incest/beastality. It does not matter which sites are based overseas etc SE wise. They are held responsible for what they put up on there search engine. Google is the main source here from what I'm told and it makes all the sense in the world. Let me say again, this case would not be to make money by suing google, but to have a impact on these sites/other stuff like rapidshare and places you can uploaded pirated content as well. I just dont understand why rapidshare/any other uploading companies even get placed as a link on google and get SE from it? This was there point. Makes 0 sense and someones gotta be help responsible and it this case its google. Just what i was told.
