dreamwest Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 So i read on a blog google converts an image to base64 string to avoid copywrite. Is this true? Even though it still looks like the original ..... its well - text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Um, I assume that is simply how it compares images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahngiel Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 a) It violates copyright protection to even alter a copyrighted work b) simply renaming something does not remove the copyrights c) it would be more detrimental for a copyright holder to anger the search engine gods that direct give them free advertisement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootstah Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I don't think there would be any copyright issues because Google doesn't host the content it finds. Plus, it is easy enough to tell Google not to find things if you don't want it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyph Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 base64 is the same data, it's just in a different form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
