I agree, as I have said in a separate post. However, I'm not opposed to including the images in thumbnail form in search engines, with pointers to the real thing. > Perhaps they should, on every page, of every search, > have a paragraph about copyrights. People who steal images are usually either too unethical or too stupid to follow the rules. In either case, it isn't usually a question of ignorance, and so putting a paragraph of explanation on a site probably won't make any difference. > It would not take much effort on their part, and > go a long way to alleviate the ..."Oh, I thought > it was in the public domain' excuse. The public domain, like fair use, is very widely understood, but I suspect that the misunderstanding is often quite deliberate.
