Blocking the right click is possible. Offering smaller dimensions of the picture is also possible.

Besides, use Alta Vista or something other than google.
It is a public network. Google is judging every person wanting to "view an image" as being a thieve or an A.I search engine.

Also, I don't see this as censorship, rather corporates being stupid as usual.
It will reinforce surveillance and internet censorship furthermore. The decision has a very heavy political weight.
With this move; other tech companies will follow.
It's a private company, but very infamous for its reputation as a violating trademark for users. Just like Facebook.
There are images that have "no copyrights". At least let us view those?

I disagree. I make my living off creating content for the Internet, for the most part. I own my copyrights. Sure, I've had pieces stolen, but that doesn't mean it's my fault for posting it on the Internet. Should I just not get paid for my work?
The connection allows private havens for the images and photos wanted to secured to be.
It's not just the images; even other files.
Right click in the browser, and hit "view source".
That's the website's code.
The internet was never meant to be a place of locked doors. It's open from day one; except the small parts that people need to use privacy in. The sources of your "work" is different than the "sample". The src is an 3500X4000 pixles; for example. The public display is a 350x400 pixles. See the difference of the quality?

If you leave $1,000 cash on a table on your front porch and somebody steals it, it is partially your fault for affording the thief such an easy opportunity.
Some may forget and put it. Blame on the human memory in this case; the thieve should steal.
But that is on the money example you provided; not the internet.
