I don't believe that's the case in the USA, though I have no idea how it works outside of that. I know that Peter Pan was granted some form of exception to UK copyright law, because it is the primary source of income for the children's hospital to which Barrie. tsanders lists an appropriate wikipedia entry below; I'll read it later today after having achieved sufficient levels of coffee-imbued clarity.
Mainly I'm still curious why Google would have multiple printings of a book listed and not make the one that is "most usable" the most prominent hit-return on the book.
But, yes, in general I also see intellectual property law as needing some form of OMGWTFBBQ logic-scented airstrike.
