Google banned the search engine to open images in full size, protecting copyright
Google again made changes to the work of its search engine: on This time is gone «View image» button ( "View full size " ) when searching for a specific image. Also on the selected image appears: " Images can be protected by copyright " .
Why removed
Earlier with using this button in the search engine images it was possible to open the image separately and at full resolution, without having to switch to site. However, photographers and publishers were unhappy with the unhindered " theft " of their works, so Google had to go to compromise.
Removing the " View image " button was one of the terms and conditions of the license agreement between Google and a major photobank Getty Images. Such a decision in corporations were called "the balance between meeting the needs of users and publishers " .
Today we're launching some changes on Google Images to help connect users and useful websites. This will include removing the View Image button. The Visit button remains, so users can see images in the context of the webpages. pic.twitter.com/n76KUj4ioD
