Google faces piracy accusation from Getty Images in Europe
Getty Images isn't happy that Google search displays copyrighted full-screen, high-res photos. In the complaint it filed with the European Union's antitrust commission, it accused Google of scraping images from third-party sources and promoting piracy, which is apparently hurting its business. The photo agency told Time that once people have already seen high-resolution photos through a Google search, "there is little impetus to view the image on the original source site."
