If you ask to have something removed, or to exclude your site, they do. They comply with robots.txt, I believe even retrospectively. I think they try hard NOT to be sued.

They are also not making a profit from “copied” content, and so damages would be small. Particularly as they would immediately remove the problematic content.




Basically (until now), they make themselves as reasonable and as little of a target as they can.
