 LOS ANGELES (AP) - A federal appeals court said Google Inc. does not infringe the copyrights of adult entertainment company Perfect 10 Inc. by displaying small versions of its images in search results.
But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Wednesday a lower court should reconsider whether Google helps violate copyrights by pointing people to sites that display unauthorized photos.
A U.S. District Court judge last year issued a preliminary injunction against Google, finding that Perfect 10 had submitted enough evidence to suggest that the search engine directly violated copyrights by displaying the small image, known as a "thumbnail," even though the full-sized image was on a third party's Web site.
