Comment Google in not the infringer (Score 1) 96

If someone makes a copy of a book and gives it to me, I am not the infringer. If I read the book and note how many times word X occurs near Y (and do some other fancy statistics), I am still not infringing. If I report these statistics or use them in an app, that too is not infringing. That seems pretty clear.

Antibiotic resistance doesn't come from raising livestock,

I don't think so; from "Agriculture and food animals as a source of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria":

"The use and misuse of antibiotics in farm animal settings as growth promoters or as nonspecific means of infection prevention and treatment has boosted antibiotic consumption and resistance among bacteria in the animal habitat. This reservoir of resistance can be transmitted directly or indirectly to humans through food consumption and direct or indirect contact. " (doi: 10.2147/IDR.S55778)
