Good Search Borrows, Great Search … Steals?

When it comes to search engines, the age-old saying “good artists copy, great artists steal” might come into play.

Good search engines borrow information from various sources to provide users with relevant search results.

On the other hand, great search engines not only borrow but also manipulate and repackage content in innovative ways.

This raises ethical questions about the ownership and originality of the search results provided by these engines.

While good search engines strive to credit the sources they borrow from, great search engines may blur the lines of attribution.

Some argue that great search engines push the boundaries of copyright laws and intellectual property rights.

However, others believe that great search engines contribute to the evolution of information sharing and technology.

Ultimately, the debate over whether good search borrows and great search steals depends on one’s perspective and values.

As search engines continue to advance, it remains to be seen how they will navigate the fine line between borrowing and stealing.

What do you think? Is it possible for a search engine to be both ethical and innovative in its search results?
