I can tell you for certain that Google dumped a bunch of sites and sources of junk that Yahoo is still indexing at an ever increasing rapid pace. The major difference was Google responded to the spam reports and Yahoo didn't. Kind of hard to blame Google for not spotting sites that don't want to be spotted. The problem is that the smarter junk sites and domain parks are working harder at eliminating and randomizing the fingerprints that make them easily detectable. You yourself once said "stealth is as stealth does" or something similar that sounded like a phrase from a fortune cookie. The only thing I won't let Google off the hook for is that they know when AdSense shows up on more than a handful of sites for a single account and it's a clear signal of potential quality problems and they let it persist.

It's not under the radar...there's a check flowing from Google to the owners of that site, and Google counts their pages as "available inventory" when it pitches potential advertisers.

I really get annoyed when these sites pop up, and nothing is done about it. The average Joe is out there working hard at getting a decent rank but is finding it hard.

I think you're misplacing the blame on Google that should be attributed to the bandit stealing pages and scamming the search engine. This instance isn't as simple as your traditional duplicate content penalty as they would have to be able to semantically interpret and compare the content for it's intent, which is a bit more than we should expect of Google and it's a slippery slope that could penalize all sorts of similar pages as duplicate content just because they are about the same topic. I would just report the site to Google as scraper spam, which I have reported many like you found, and then lose trust if they don't deal with it appropriately.
