What do you expect them to do? Somehow do an image-similarity search throughout the web for every image used in papers by their employees?

- nine_k 14y agoBTW completely feasible with Google's resources. Can be fully automated, too.
- jackpirate 14y agoYeah, it's not like they just have a giant image search engine laying around!
- j2kun 14y agoI would expect them to read it once, and bounce it back to the author saying something along the lines of "Cite your sources, please." That's certainly within Google's power, no?
- chmodd 14y agoThey do (almost) the same thing at youtube, don't they?
- carlosaguayo 14y agoNo, but you would expect some kind of seriousness... Universities don't need to run image-similarity through papers published by their students right? Plagiarism is a big thing.
- gms 14y agoRight. They tell them the policy and make sure it is understood, then they trust them because they cannot police every single image.
- patmcguire 14y agoYouTube already has copyright infringement bots that mark copyrighted content and either give the holder the option to put ads on it or take it down. Search also puts a lot of effort into identifying duplicated content to punish content farms. I've heard they're making progress on detecting algorithmically spun articles too (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_spinning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_spinning). Oh, and they have it for images. Here's the search result for the one they used: https://www.google.com/search?tbs=sbi:AMhZZivFQlmjC8rcxWC0MZUxadqDHehMN1NsEpPmzc8yBq59X9o3IR4bQr1jdwzRuS4npunwjwDXiEOjo5Z2nP-y_15uKJUAfBvUFY7LwAvobN9keAArJbKJ9wLDpofqyOcRLRigL92DAwkPDV8qX86HKscM6dxK0Hxz_1rN0iPk28ap52PWhw97t093vV_1Ig_1fwTSwcjHLFHkMUe_1vigsLRHRznzVEiifKXmd7n5zVynCCT7u7rY-L5DGrwer97S6Qirjfh58UJDYBOYgzUSolMoyG06pMASdE5o_1kK0L94m6gBX8IJRRnjfhfKzRF7ZZHpJzcPTKLqMytTg_1Y6EhjbnVE_1Q5rA3zxn2AXNWuf2IMTL7JXgdMsC5ne7qXRDqlNozPhrWIPdjjzQdvefJOZEg1c8jdH78ZJPnNdVxSRy00uFPDBf0TrSAOr7F1u87_1IzQqD912r5Cvg_16f3uCJjn-E0ssVx7nqRe1ZKVxDAaZ_1ON6EH14uuuIqwtRLiKNwEkZ2Q2iGvxb5yggXRdV-WAFDa0771yqzNUhjsbiTxa1HxHPjkMCF8dJ_1Ibrfeg3BbGndlkpMN94yBP5j0yHUTD7fwymk0lE2jA&num=10&hl=en&bih=936&biw=1680 https://www.google.com/search?tbs=sbi:AMhZZivFQlmjC8rcxWC0MZ... So yes, it'd be trivial for them to do so.
