ByTom MorganAt last someone has come up with a way of monetizing content on the web.
Google, as ever, has found a way forward, their ubiquitous search engine delivering billions of pair of eyeballs, daily, matching user behavior to content-type. The problem is that the content which Google is monetizing does not belong to Google.
Google displays images in a grid on their Image Search pages. In order to do so, they have to remove the images from their originally published context.

CEPIC’s membership is directly affected by the Settlement.
CEPIC’s membership is directly affected by the Settlement as millions of books digitized by Google include photographs. A small part of our members licence illustrations for children’s books – included in the Agreement – other will represent photographers who hold copyright in books. Sooner or later, Google will pursue all photographic rights and work out its conditions, as has been done for writers’ rights in the present Settlement.
CEPIC is not opposed to general or special agreements between Google and libraries or universities.
