Site owners have complained that people can download images from their sites without even visiting the site and view it in its context. It's of course not that hard to just get the images anyway but it makes it a bit less convenient. Anyway, here is a list of some good alternatives to Google Images. Of course, you can always have a look at our complete community-generated list of Google Images alternatives as well!
