The search giant Google, that this blogger remembers as popular new device with Berkeley and Stanford students back in 1999, had one major legal victory and another major legal loss: one regarding thumbnails and the other on an allegedly illegal set of Canadian ads involving Google’s Chief Executive Officer Larry Page.
In the first case, a website firm called “Perfect 10,” which features photos and webcams of scantily-clad women, sued Google for a wronghead reason. Perfect 10 claims that Google AdSense users who obtained photos of women from Google Image Searches that were originally on Perfect 10 were illegally benefiting from that ability, as were Blogger account holders, and so because Google gains revenue from the Google AdWords side of Google AdSense (where AdWord hosts the ads, and Google AdSense places the ads hosted by AdWords).
