I am not referring to thumnail images. It's the other one. Google is still trying to overturn this one "Right to Display". (it is the very thing that Ancestry did that incurred the wrath.) If you click on Ancestry cached image or link, it is STILL imply that Ancestry own that site. (IBC is completely dismantled and removed, but Obituary Collection isn't just yet.) And attorneys are stepping in now - coming from newspapers groups in objection to what Ancestry is doing to THEIR copyrighted sites (requiring pay access to free obituary sites). They just found out about Ancestry's Obituary Collection which is nothing but a collection of cached links to online newspaper obituary sites, most are free access. Believe me I know because I called my favorite newspaper publisher to see if any permission were ever given - none were given.)
