I have always kept all crawlers out of my images..nothing in G or B or Y ( there was an SE a while back that used automated screen captures that it then served up as results via a flash files interface..I had a public "run in" ;) with their "rep", here in WebmasterWorld over it..they eventually took me out of their index before the lawyers "insisted" that they did ;)..anyway..

I went for a look around Bing to see if they had "snuck in" to any of my "off limits to image hungry crawlers and thieves" places..they haven't..:)

However, I did a little research on some people's sites I know, that I thought Bing might have taken images from..( that were "unprotected" ) sure enough..Bing images has them..and is showing them full size , over ( as in above ) a framed "preview" of the page that they took them from..

But here is the the thing..:)

I found one set of images belonging to a blogger here in France, she is an artist/sculptor ( my original calling ) and has a blog on a system called "overblog" ( a kind of "also ran" French version of blogger or blogspot, one gets to design one's own pages..if one uses it..( but the "platform" puts ads around the free blogs ) ..usually pages on there look like a kind of bourgeois version of myspace ..( but I digress, it comes of being in a thread with lucy :)..

So..I noticed that the lady's images were in Bing..but that when you click through to the individual image, her pages do what looks like a breakout/redirect and bust out of Bing's frame ..so you go straight from "click to view specific "found" image" on Bing image search..to her page ..with no Bing frame..

A very quick look ( yes it is late again here, turned 05.00 am Wednesday morning, but I was working on some "needed no distractions" code stuff on another computor and just stopped for a break ) at the source code shows me a huge mess of "calls" to Ganalytics and other tracking and various ad networks etc...

But I suspect that if I took the time ( and had naught better to do, and wasn't about to get some rest ;) ..I would find that somewhere in that huge mess of javascript..there was a "frame-breaker/frame-buster" script..

Thus, it may be too late for those who have had their images slurped up by bing to kick the door shut and claw them back..

But, you may well be able to avoid the insult of having bing frame the stolen goods ( and thus you can still get some actual visitors out of being ensnared in Bing's "image bank" ) merely by using variants on "frame-breaker / frame-buster" javascripts..

You might have to try a few before hitting the one(s) that works to bust out of Bing's image preview though..
