Google provides sample text for every site that comes up in the results, and they put ads on the page too. If it's publicly available we are well past at least a portion being fair use.

A portion is legally protected. ALL data, not so much. Court cases on going.

But Google displays the relevant portion! How could it do that without scraping and internally seeing all of it?
