RE: Google removed the image viewing feature
So, you're mad at Google for making it difficult for people to steal things that don't belong to them?  Perhaps you missed the 'Images may be subject to copyright' bit.

BFD. One more step. The sites want hits, this is one way to get them. I started on a non-graphic WWW during Desert Shield. Had to download pictures to see them.

"Steal"?
So, according to you, this is Ali Baba's cave, because all the members -or most; at least- use "stolen avatars".

Yup. You notice that I don't have an avatar.

If they don't want you to use a picture they can put a redirect in so you get something you weren't expecting.

Anyone who wants to protect their "copyright" should not be posting those things on the web in the first place.


Besides, use Alta Vista or something other than google.

Profoundly low resolution reproductions of copyrighted and/or other protected art seems like a silly thing to worry about.

10 X 15 pixel representation of the Mona Lisa is hardly going to detract from the value of the original. Particularly if the 10 X 15 pixel image isn't square on to the camera and is also out of focus since it's in the background.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The original is the image taken by the photographer in this case, their work, not the thing they're imaging.

Sites should be able to protect links and resources from being indexed by search engines quite easily, I don't see how Google has to go out of its way for this, but then again, Google is a private organization and can do whatever they want within their services. Also, I don't see this as censorship, rather corporates being stupid as usual.
