Thoughts?

My Google Images referrals started to drop way back when, when the image-hover iframe thing was instituted.

I simply hadn't noticed because I didn't look in my stats for the effects of this measure.

I'm repeating myself, but I've gone from 10,000 referrals per month to 150 - most of the damage coming from the image-hover.

150 referrals is just piddly stuff.

The world is changing, folks; Pinterest has opened the doors wide to grand scale image plunder. Bing and Google are fighting for their share of the loot.

Desktops are becoming a thing of the past, the music business has imploded... the image business is being dispossessed from its rightful owners.

Who will sue Bing/Google/Pinterest for copyright infringement, and establish a legal precedent?
