It's great if Google choose to give others some of the benefits of their settlement rights -- but they still dictate the terms of that, and can always change their mind. Fortunately, Google's worry about anti-trust law means that this part of "effective copyright law" won't be determined *purely* by Google's whim, but it hardly fixes the fundamental problem.
