I agree with you in sentiment but this part:

> From a technical perspective, Google could compare whois domain registration details and snapshots at the Internet Archive with the allegedly infringing URL.

No to Google abusing the Internet Archive’s servers. If they want to host a mirror of their own and hit that, fine, but you know what they could be using instead? Their very own Google Cache.

> Their very own Google Cache.

You mean the thing they recently announced they were shutting down, and suggest you use the Internet archive instead?

The very same.

They permanently disabled that recently.

I know. That’s why I said it. Abusing a non-profit’s services for a useful function when you had your own to make use of? That’s what we call a dick move. Although this is a hypothetical dick move. Killing off Google Cache was a dick move and wasn't hypothetical though.
