> Google lets you see tons of articles online as search results

Can anyone here who works for Google tell us if all of these results are actually loadable from the Google campus? This seems likely, given how they are indexable by the search engine but are blocked to anyone else save paid subscribers.

Google could easily put a stop to this abuse by declaring that it will publicly cache anything it finds to be loadable only from its own IP range.
