I don’t think so one bit. That’s just victim-blaming nonsense. It might not have been responsible, but fault is another story altogether. Moreover, putting creative arts out into the world to make a living is hardly equivalent to leaving money on your porch. If a person is savvy enough to use images in ways that violate copyrights, they should be savvy enough to know they’re breaking the law.
A table on the front porch is not a group of pixels on the screen. There are millions of images online; that doesn't even compare to a visit to the local painting store, searching in that sea of pixels just to find an image that is not copyrighted is daunting and just terrible ! the internet is not the physical world.

Do I put my stuff out for public consumption and eschew the profits to make my work known? Or do I charge for the privilege and thereby speak to a smaller audience?
I still believe that the internet is a different case; especially the images.
Removing the mere "viewing" is a killer for the user. Especially when we consider the huge number of search results.
This an intro for more stripping of the basic internet features.

Is it the little link that said "View image" or whatever it said that gave you the image directly?
Now, you can right click the image on google images and select "view image", like you can do with any other image on the internet, and your browser will show you the image.
You can also copy the link... and it no longer links to a stupid google temporary file.
Or maybe my google is different from yours....
Not Google; but the browser you're using.
If you use "Chrome-Firefox-Edge" then you can do what you did. But only on these browser.
