Perfect 10 Inc. reported that it filed a lawsuit against Microsoft for copyright infringement by the MSN search engine, after attempts to resolve the matter peacefully were not crowned with success. At the moment, Perfect 10 also sues on the same issue with Google and Amazon.
According to Perfect 10, major US corporations — Microsoft and Google — link and display billions of dollars expressed in copyrighted images without permission to raise the rating of their businesses.
"Microsoft shows tens of thousands of valuable images of stars, as well as images belonging to Perfect 10, without permission, which it receives from hundreds or even thousands of pirated sites," says Norm Zada, a former Stanford professor and president of Perfect 10. "They also show very explicit sexual images of people of any age. Search engines could easily reduce the number of violations if they simply excluded obvious violators from the lists when they received notifications and would stop copying and displaying links to works protected by copyright, but this will greatly reduce their income. ”

According to Zada, the MSN search engine, like Google, creates reduced versions of thousands of images belonging to Perfect 10 without permission, and allows users to search through them and view their full-format versions.
