Greetings! I check your blog almost every day. But i have a question. How is this a tool to protect us from copyright infringement? doesn't this seem even more like an invitation to use whatever images pop up in google without concern to ownership?
Janice, It takes an illustrator/artist being proactive. For instance, I use google alerts to tell me when my name is being used out in cyberland. Icerocket too. I also follow my stats and look for unusual URLs that I don't recognize. By staying attentive, I've caught and tracked down many copyright infringers. This will be another tool I'll use to make sure my images aren't being used where they're not supposed to be. More work for us, but better than losing all control, in my opinion. e
