[Master Matthew²]

Oh wow so this thread proves:

The EU is Cancer.
Google is a company built of cucks and idiots.
Getty Images should never get money ever again.
Google should never get money ever again.
The EU should break apart like a shattered windshield.

Has someone made a chrome extension putting it back yet or what?

Yes, a quick googling reveals that someone has.

There is no protection of copyright here. If it's true that you can still do the same thing just with an added step, Getty made everyone's lives harder to protect nothing.

but 2.7 billion this is google we're talking about
according to metro, "According to Forbes, Google is valued at $101.8 billion (£76.2 billion)."

That doesn't mean they have $101.8 billion in cash just laying around

huh thats odd

[e-maxx]

google knew exactly what they were doing with this
"ok we'll 'remove' the view image button just for you daddy getty"

[Kochieboy]

Again, how the forget did google not fight the settlement??? There is evidence that what getty was asking for was unnecessary.

ALSO available for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/view-image/

So you can return to normal browsing behaviour fortunately, but it's really stuffty that they had to do this. I can't think of any reason that they wouldn't have been able to negotiate out of removing an essential feature.

so you're saying that if you were the head of a multi billion dollar company, your first move would be to throw away 1/4th of the company's net worth rather than change 1 line of code?

id rather just remove a step from a process than remove 2 billion from my company
