Interesting, so if they decide later that they want to look at this signal, what are they gonna do start indexing the exif data?

Simply going by the image name would not be enough since it is easy to rename an image, and what of those who use a common name of an image that might be unique?

Google redid their image search at the start of the year. They also removed the instant previews a few weeks ago.

It makes sense for me to rename whatever image I download to use, so I can identify what it's for without having to open it. Something like casinoname468x60.jpg instead of yHs7723.jpg

I think that's common practice. I leave off the x60 to shorted the name a little and just keep the 468 part.

Yes, renaming an image makes sense, but the exif data remains the same.

I have no idea how Google is going to indentify who has copyright for image and who doesn't.
It's not just about renaming.
So, will duplicated images be remowed?

OH NO! Matt says "It's a great suggestion for a future signal we could look at". Ok affiliates, time for us to add photography as another string to our bow
