One of the reasons Google Image Search is so neutered is because it was sued and lost.
Small extracts or low quality assets are usually permissible, full on scraping is not.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoTell that to all the StackOverflow clones out there. It's really crazy. If I search for any of the things I have posted on SO, for the last dozen years, I get multiple hits. There are quite a number of sites that just full-on scrape SO, strip out the attributions, then republish, wrapped in their branding. I suspect that this is done for many, many other content-rich sites.

- bmacho 2y agoI think for some people when they search a question, a stack overflow mirror comes up as the first result. I've seen it too, ~once, some years ago. I was totally ready to change to it if it can provide /text/ (without javascript) faster and leaner, but that did not happen.
- Kye 2y agoThey probably do the attribution in a way that just barely complies with the wording of the CC license without being too visible.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoI hate to be assumptuous, but odds are those clones are in countries that do not respect copyright anyway. You'll see tons of shameless clones from Chinese sites or companies and there's not much you can do about it outside of maybe asking the server host to intervene.
