Recently the U.S. appeals court has rejected Perfect 10's (an adult website) claim of Google costing them $50 million million worth of suscriptions by displaying their images in google search results; violating copyrights and in the long run ruining Perfect 10. Some articles are suggesting that due free alternative pornography sites, people do not see the point of paying a monthly suscription for nude pictures when they can get it for nothing. This is probably the main reason for their fall but their pictures displaying on Google Images didn't really them help either. The court dismissed the case saying their was not enough evidence that proved that Perfect 10 had lost the sum of money due Google images. Plus the fact that the developer of the site did not know how to operate robot.txts files (a convention to prevent cooperating web crawlers (eg. Google) from accessing all or part of a website which is otherwise publicly viewable.
