If Getty Images is so extraordinarily, and uniquely qualified to distribute images, and can distinguish with certainty that they are not the problem, but suing Google is, why don't they just start their own search engine? One that specifically links the user's search terms to the very photo / image / what-have-you that the user is after?
I mean, "Getty Images represents over 200,000 photojournalists, content creators and artists around the world... ", out of the 23.633.010.000 sites on Earth atm, surely Getty Images has enough drawing power to get the "Creators" paid.

Herbert Yardley's book discussing 'The Black Chamber' effectively put a stop to that in 1931, didn't he? Even though they (The Black Chamber) ceased to be in 1929. The Espionage Act of 1917 was amended blah blah blah. Yardley even got an honourable mention from the NSA.
Daniel Ellsberg with Anthony Russo did their part, so Nixon couldn't just have either of them killed, right?
From there it moves on over the dozens and dozens, decade after decade, until we get to our most famous whistle-blowing duo... Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden. Does a short-sighted Rhode Island Attorney believe he will actually make any individual with enough determination, and enough exasperation and outrage, think twice about righting some very wrong wrongs in the future?
Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin believes he is / has the answer when there has been numerous attempts at getting to the answer for years - including a number of amendments to The Espionage Act. Kilmartin should also re-read the Military Whistleblower Protection Act. AG Kilmartin is playing fast and loose with his entry into politics.
All the Court would need are the names authorizing the action taken to seize and then run that Child Pornography site - PlayPen - and charge a conspiracy to run a site trafficking Child Pornography.
I'd say that this is quite different from Apple not complying with an All Writs... unless... unless they absolutely had to. That is what Apple had stated I believe.
Hell, they may even discover that the website was up for more than just "two weeks", because it seems to me that the FBI has collected a seriously large amount of data for the prosecution to play with. And, who on Earth knows just what sickness / perversity might have transpired if indeed it was longer than the two weeks the FBI are claiming they ceased the website for.
Has this particular Agency been engaged in any alleged illegal, or involved in any egregious or questionable activities in the past? That would be the first area to look at. I also believe the decision to release Officers from the "burden" of using Body Cameras will be tested in court. Minooka PD will have to have it explained to them that it is no longer a choice you can simply opt out of. This Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer is more than likely under the impression that his word is the last word when it comes to the issue of Body Cameras, and their deployment being a burden.
It has to be, and I'm pretty sure it will be, tested in courts. It will definitely be questioned when their (Minooka PD) Officers have to face the gauntlet questioning by some very upset Parents, or a community, and their legal teams, and Minooka Police Department's only exculpable means of defence would have been a body camera.
This is also testing the waters for other law enforcement agencies cross country, to say that these cameras are too much of a burden to use any longer. Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer needs to be knocked down a peg or two and discover he is not at the top of this legal food chain, and any other Police Chief considering acting in like manner, needs to think on carefully how they want to phrase their next sentences.
I read above, that tax payer funds should also be withheld... I like that idea. Any government funding should also be withheld if a Policing Agency knowingly withdraws from a program designed to not only guard against Bad Policing, but is designed to protect Police when it comes to bogus filings of inappropriate action, and even wrongful death.
... in that the money should have been better spent on the Families of the victims, but it is the FBI / DOJ whom have blinders on in this case. They really needed to extricate themselves from their losing positions.
Nevertheless, every company that the FBI / DOJ comes at from that point of asking for "the backdoor", to asking for something akin somewhere in the future, will know exactly how Law Enforcement will come at them, and what cards to play. It won't be quite so easy, and messy in the future.
Google, Musk, All things WIKI, Micro$oft, Apple, and future fabulous Corporations, really, really need to be treated a little more fairly, and with alot more respect.

I believe the argument is about Ad-Blocker-Blockers' creating an Invasion of Privacy issue here. They are installing, more often than not, malicious spyware into the Browsers of Website Patrons.
The argument then proceeds to Accountability. Can these Vendors be held legally accountable for creating vulnerabilities in a Visitor's computer / cell? Did this (quite literally) "Backdoor" result in damage or exploitation?
Accountabilty; website vendors have to, nay, need to be held accountable for their actions. It is not a visitor or patron's responsibility or fault that a company's business plan, wherein the advertising is a dismal failure, becomes that particular consumer's fault because of a gross failure.
... [t]o watch this pretty messed up piece of history. It comes in at 00:46:34 with an eloquent introduction, and then a rally of information and common, unconscious knowledge - unconscious in that anyone who is even tenuously informed, up-to-date, and has a pulse, already knows all this shit about encryption, and the "vital role" it plays in all our lives. Then it starts to go south from there.
I was able to watch another twenty-five or so more minutes of it before I realized that it was time I was never going to get back. They're a pack / bunch / conflation etc. pack of lying dogs / taints / gooches / scrots / tards. I just couldn't watch anymore. That saying comes off as kinda true...
We have to keep telling ourselves that there are still really decent, honourable Law Enforcement Officials out there. We shouldn't have to do that. Blame the Police. Make them answerable to questionable, illegal conduct.
I should think that all of the colluding Officers' (involved in this perjury) past / present cases would fall under some category which would require review. Any civilian who has been sentenced and imprisoned by these Officers, should have grounds for their en masse appeals.
This is how law works, does it not???
The only "Hail Mary" that the Government has produced is the one for previously convicted citizens, through these law enforcement officials.
