"I'm a 'pro-sumer' photographer. If my (lower-res) pics show up in Google search result, i don't mind, because people will click on it and this will take them to my galleries. And they can possibly buy my pics from my gallery. Google search-results serves as a billboard/ad in this case."

I fully understand the point being made, what I don't understand is why google can use images in the Image search without permission?
