Google to remove View Image button from Image Search According to Getty Images

[glitterball]

I just received an email from Getty Images (I am a contributor), stating that they will be withdrawing their complaint to the European Commission about Google Image Search as Google have agreed to make some important changes:

Google has worked closely with us to address many issues raised by Getty Images around Google Images, the image search functionality of Google. Moving forward, Google has agreed to make changes in Image Search, including making the copyright disclaimer more prominent and removing the view image button. This is a benefit to all image owners globally and we expect this to have a positive impact on traffic to our site.

Some good news for content creators at last?

On mobile devices, Google is now showing a caption under each image, which is good for publishers, it gives us an opportunity to get the attention of people and tease them about the content of our pages.
