"The publisher of a US men's magazine has sued Google, alleging that the internet search giant is infringing on copyright by displaying thousands of pictures of nude women.
Perfect 10 magazine said in a statement on Wednesday that it was seeking a preliminary injunction against the search engine "to enjoin Google from copying, displaying and distributing Perfect 10 copyrighted images".
The magazine said it had already filed a complaint against Google in November 2004 claiming the web giant "is displaying hundreds of thousands of adult images, from the most tame to the most exceedingly explicit, to draw massive traffic to its website, which it is converting into hundreds of millions of dollars of advertising revenue".
Much of Google's revenues come from so-called keyword searches that link advertisers to users by their search criteria.
Perfect 10 claims that "under the guise of being a 'search engine,' Google is displaying, free of charge, thousands of copies of the best images from Perfect 10, Playboy, nude scenes from major movies, nude images of supermodels, as well as extremely explicit images of all kinds." "
