    Adult magazine Perfect 10 earlier filed a copyright infringement claim against Google alleging that Google was crawling the Perfect10.com website and created thumbnails of copyrighted images that were later displayed in Google Image search results.

    Google did store the thumbnails but argued that image thumbnails were protected under the copyright doctrine of fair use.

    Now a court has also said that using thumbnail-sized images of pictures does not constitute infringement, even when the images are copyrighted.
