read it carefully - this court actually overturned the lower court decision that rejected Perfect10's claim that Google is liable for contributing to copyright infringement by others by linking the the thumbs to pages illegally using Perfect10's images.

"There is no dispute that Google substantially assists Web sites to distribute their infringing copies to a worldwide market and assists a worldwide audience of users to access infringing materials," the ruling found.

"Google could be held contributorily liable if it had knowledge that infringing Perfect 10 images were available using its search engine, could take simple measures to prevent further damage to Perfect 10's copyrighted works and failed to take such steps."
