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."

Doesn't Perfect 10 know how to use robots.txt to block Googlebot?

old news :)

Google will win on appeal. No ads are on their image search. Only problem with google image search is the you can see the full size pics without having to be on the page it came from. Google can easily fix that.

Anyways yahoo video search is a bigger threat to copyright infringement. You can download a video without have to see the page where it came from.

Of course if sites like Perfect 10 would use a little hotlinking protection this shit doesn't happen in the first place.

It's all a publicity stunt.
