Any way you cut it it's stolen content that doesn't send visitors anymore, it's time for Google to pay up.

Sgt_Kickaxe - your comment is way off topic. At the moment, Google is gathering almost all it's knowledge graph data (including images, as far as I can tell) from Wikipedia, who have freely licensed their content to Google - just as they've licensed it to pretty much everybody else.

Here's Wikipedia's license:

It will be a much more profitable discussion if we can discuss impact on SEO without resorting to airing general grievances about Google, especially those that don't even seem to be factually correct.
