Getty Images has sued Microsoft over a search tool that allows people to embed digital photographs onto their Web sites. The Bing Image Widget, released Aug. 22, displays on Web sites digital images aggregated by Microsoft's Bing search engine. The lawsuit charges that Microsoft has turned all the world's online images into an unlicensed clip art collection for the benefit of those Web site publishers without seeking permission from the owners of the copyrights.
