Oh but it is the copying that is the problem..and many ( in fact as an image creator,who is in contact with many others, I'll guarantee you that most, like 99.99999% of image creators), don't want their images "spread around"..( those who do want their images "spread around" actually say so..but some people just assume that they do..and use it as an excuse to copy without permission )..the issue is that now Google is sometimes ranking the copiers higher than the creators..and some of the long time copiers are actually complaining, because they are being outranked by newer copiers ..for images that they both scraped*..and which belong to neither of them ..

*scraped or stolen, is what it is ..not "spread around"..unless the image creator gives permission in writing, for each and very separate instance..for their images to be "spread around"..
