The other issue is caching images. The 2006 case allowing Google to cache thumbnails is here (and I suspect is part of what Wikis use to argue they can use thumbnails - that and the fair use education exceptions). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_10,_Inc._v._Google_Inc.
If I can find articles about how the UK/EU is handing caching/archiving etc, I'll put them in another link.

Last I heard, Google was struggling in the EU over their ability to cache and index websites.
Here in the US in 2006 Caching/indexing was found to be legal

But newspaper attorneys are trying to get the issue revisited (when profits get involved, law gets weird)
