Google Image Search Losoes against perfect 10

very interesting article about how and what copyrighted information you can store, and make money off of.

Google in particular has tiptoed the line separating the "fair use" of copyrighted material and copyright infringement. The Internet giant has sometimes upset copyright holders, most recently getting sued by book publishers for making digital copies of books.

Matz's ruling "narrows the concept of fair use for search engines, but it also points out how variable that doctrine is and how little certainty a company has in relying on it," Pulgram said. "Google did what everyone thought was legal."
