Literally every page Google shows you, where it also shows you those ads it makes money from, is Google's content and it is derived from the data it gets scraping the web.
What the fuck are you even talking about? Making a list of website identifiers (names and URLs) so that people can go to them isn't even slightly the same as making a derived work of the websites' contents.
That is not how Google operates.
ok thanks google ceo. please explain
Google has to scrape and process the entire webpage and analyze the content to figure out which links to provide you. The end result of them presenting you with those links is from them copying and processing all your site's data, including when you aren't listed in the search results.
