Most of you know that on certain searches for generic terms stock images can rank pretty high. I wonder if when the "artists" put together their book they cleared rights or purchased any needed licenses for their new Google Dictionary book

While intended as an art piece, the artists Ben and Felix are currently looking into having a small run of softcover editions of Google printed to sell.

I read in the article that they didn't contact Google or any of the copyright holders.
