Question

How does google creating copies of images found across web pages, with disregard to copyright laws affect e-business and the image creators?

Answer 1

It's essential to note that "Google Photos" is not an image library operated by Google, but a web-based search engine that seeks pictures. The individual who produced the image eventually owns copyright in such photographs, but in different forms the copyright owner can give permission for the picture to be used by anyone else.The consent may permit someone to print the picture in a book, magazine, journal, or website, or may permit any such usage of the photograph.Fair usage is a US legal concept that makes restricted use of patented content without seeking permission from the owner of the property. This is comparable to the equal trade principles that are found in certain non-US nations. Fair usage calls for the lawful use of patented content in the work of another however, because it is a legal concept, it can also be open to legal dispute.If you are contemplating taking photos of major companies, they have compliance departments who do little but search into ways that are violating. Also if you adjust the file name, there are easy ways to scan for pictures online. And if you think you're only going to crop the screenshot so that you can't see the copyright notice or any identifiable detail, think about it again, as the fine for doing so is very firm.
