David, if you are referring to the Perfect 10 litigation, you are wrong. In May of this year, The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Google's use of thumbnail images. Only one issue was returned to the District Court for further consideration, that of possibly "failing to respond adequately to Perfect 10's notifications that Google's search results linked to infringing content." I am not aware of that issue being decided yet. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070517-google-v-perfect-10-appeals-court-affirms-that-thumbnails-are-fair-use.html Pat
