What does the agreement between Google and Getty Images mean?

Getty Images he said a deal he made with Google. The specific agreement between companies includes a global licensing partnership between them, which will come with some changes to Google's images.

What does this mean;

If you do an image search on Google Images right now, you'll see a “” “view image” on the results page, which often displays a larger version of the image you're interested in.Getty Images

Getty Images has filed a lawsuit against Google in the European Union and the United States over the specific button that allows it high resolution images directly from the Google Image results page and not from the web page containing the image.

So those who want an image can view and download it from Google without ever visiting the site where the image was posted. .

The official announcement on the Getty Images website reveals very little about the deal, but an email sent to companies and photographers working with Getty Images provides more details about the deal.

So Getty Images reports in the message, (published by Peta Pixel), that the company withdrew the complaint because Google recognized the issue. Google has agreed to make changes to the image search engine to address the behavior that worries Getty Images, and according to the email, this will "benefit all image owners worldwide."

Google will remove the image view button and display copyright notices on Google images.

It is not clear at this time whether the change will affect only Getty Images or all images displayed by Google Images, but it is very likely that Google will completely remove the functionality from the image search engine.

Let's wait and see.
