Google Porn

Seems like Google's over-reaching arms have finally grabbed too much in the cinema of life, and the breasts of change are wibbling in their copyright brassiere. As this BBC article explains, Perfect 10 sought to prevent Google's image search from nabbing their naughty thumbnails.

"Perfect 10 (P10) launched its case against Google in November 2004.It alleged that Google users could find for free its pictures of nude women by providing links to sites containing pirated copies of its images. The firm publishes a magazine that sells for $7.99 and has a subscription-based website that costs $25.50 per month.

In his ruling, US District Court Judge A. Howard Matz concluded that "Google creation and public display of thumbnails likely do directly infringe P10's copyrights".

"The case highlights issues of copyright in a digital age. Google in particular has faced a barrage of complaints for linking to copyrighted material online via its news aggregator and its book search service."

Hold on - now that is interesting - via the news aggregator? Doesn't that mean (among other things) bloggers? I really must feature breasts more frequently in this blog...
