Suggestion

Secure your images so they can't do it.

Here's a great idea

Why not remove all references to Perfect 10 from the search engine + ads? :)

Not a surprise

Given the apparent belief at Google that they have the right to index anything they want, this sort of thing is going to happen to them more and more, and will probably lead to their downfall.

All they need to do is change their policies and only index data that has explicit permission given to searching from companies like Google.

No, That's Wrong

These frivolous lawsuits won't do anything. All Google is doing is essentially linking to content, the reproduction of the content through a small thumbnail is to help people figure out where they are linking to.

Any site, especially one that serves premium content, that doesn't keep their content protected through authentication is pretty dumb anyway.

Under this presumption, anyone that has a trademarked name can sue Google for using their name in their search results w/o explicit permission?

By the way, I'm sure you can IN FACT opt out of getting your cotent indexed, it's called bot and spider blocking.

there is already something of an opt-out system. It's as simply as putting a meta tag at the top of your page that tells spiders not to index the page.
Such problems are easily fixed by Perfect 10 and others. The server can check the Referer block in the HTTP header and deny access to the images accordingly (for example if the link to the image was from google.com).

Idiots sue because they're too ignorant to do things the right way.

Perhaps they need to update (or create) a robots.txt file.

Otherwise the search engine is going to index everything it can find.

Well...

Do you really think those dixkheads in adult industry are smart enough to know this? :)

Amen, Brother!

What struck me as odd also is the fact that this guy believes his own bs----I didn't know that most searches on the Internet are related to sex. :-7

Talk about self-serving BS. Yeah, they could use a robots.txt file...but then, that'd be too easy and wouldn't allow them to bleed dollars out of Google like they probably want to do. Sad.
