Google copies Yahoo! on image copyright

By Charles-Henry Ruyant

Few months after Yahoo!, Google has set up a new copyright filter on its image search. This option allows the user to select a picture free of copyright.

 

The only way to have access to this option is via the advanced image search, which is not very user friendly.

This function is obviously good and simple but this is clearly not an original idea, they seem to have copied the idea from Yahoo! They don’t even add anything to it.

 
Google has infuriated Microsoft this week with the Google O.S. and today, they have probably irritated Yahoo! by replicating their function.

 
Google are definitely trying to kill off the competition… and I am not sure that Yahoo! can take it. Between Bing and Google the chances of Yahoo’s continuing success are minimal.
