Invalid grammar in the headline. "It" is Google not the lawsuit as regular grammar rules would dictate.

Wouldn't it then still be weird, so "the lawsuit benefits from piracy"?

Yes. Although that is valid and could be an actual thing. I don't know but I think US law "entitles" copyright holders to the value of pirated things and then some. Which technically profits from piracy.
