The Ninth Circuit Overturns Google Injunction Against Thumbnails

Yesterday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed that injunction which will again allow it to provide thumbnails of Perfect 10’s images in Google search. The case in which Perfect 10 has sued Google and Amazon.com for copyright infringement begun in Nov. 2004, continues.
