Re: I don't understand all the ramifications, but...
The ramifications are intriguing but I don't believe one should simply have to lose copyright protection or suffer losses just because there are ramifications, potentially far reaching ones.
I don't think the problem here is Google pointing to cached content, such as on the Wayback Machine, so much as Google promoting cached content over the original content and thus causing a material loss.
