Mods....I posted this in Car Chat because of the large number of images that get posted here.

For those of you who like to copy and post Google images with your comments (I do a fair amount of that myself, of course), Google still has its image-search, but does not allow searching for them in different sizes and copying/posting like in the past. This is because of legal conflicts with those who contribute to google in the first place. Copying/posting can still be done in some circumstances, but it is now much harder, and, IMO, not worth the hassle.

The good news is that Bing still has the view-image/post/copy ability...the photo-police haven't gone after them yet. Here's the link:

Don't see how it will make much difference.

Some years back I built and maintained a 50-page website for a local touring choir. I recall that there was no way to protect any images on web pages. All this change means is that the user will have to load the web page indicated, then click on the photo to save. OR just right-click, as the article states.

Thanks MM - Yep, I noticed the change but didn't think anything about Google policies...kinda sucks because it was nice before.

I thought bing pretty much copied Google results, LOL.

Apparently (for whatever reason), Bing didn't have the same legal squabbles with these image-posters that Google did.

duckduckgo.com also has view image button

Minor inconvenience.
Right-Click - Open Image in new tab and you have the full image.

probably because Google has 3.5 billion searches per day vs Bing's 122.8 million searches per day
