Google image search and my letter to Matt

Hi Matt,

For years now i have worked hard to put up a good website, got bumped time and time again by people stealing my work.

And now my content is being stolen by Google!

You at Google are displaying large photos of my site without permission to do so!

Many photos are mine but there are also pictures you took that i paid for and am not allowed to redistribute.

We fought spammers and scrapers for years and now Google turns out to be the worst one.

Is this the way you want the web to be? Google using other peoples content without the owners having a benefit from it?

You guys copied books, you came up with a new shop that killed most of my traffic and therefor customers and now you plain and simple steal my properties?

Google once had a motto "Don't be evil"

Well it turns out YOU ARE THE EVIL!!!!

Not so sincerely anymore,

Tonnie Lubbers


Note: i send this letter to Matt Cuts Googles spam cop and will post a larger article about this subject on this weblog soon
