One thing that I wonder about is whether or not site owners will get mad at Google for excerpting their info in such a way. After all, the purpose of the info is to attract people onto the page where they can read, interact, subscribe, click, buy or do other actions that benefit the site owner.
Pretty sure there's nothing a site owner could do about it, but basically Google is scraping another person's copyright content for it's own purpose - to provide useful information at a glance to the search engine user.
Of course, this is Google, so I'm sure there will be no real penalties and possibly it's no more harmless than using an RSS feed from a site to show results on your own site. But for sure, these feature snippets/answer boxes are defeating the main goal of most site owners which is to funnel people from Google search onto their pages.
Though speaking as a Google search user, I like these a lot! Actually, I just noticed these more recently and have started using the feature snippets a lot more for quick answers, rather than taking time to click through to the actual site.
