I think other sites could follow the Getty precedent and sue Google so they have no choice, at least within USA. Still, the PR spin in the message is just funny, it really made me feel "empowered" and "excited" :D
DDG still works anyway, so it's not like I have no choice if I need to quickly find an image.
