    Actually, this would be an interesting way to find long-lost porn. Think about it. You have an old jpg from 10 years ago. Upload it to Google and you find others from the same set, who took the photo, etc.

    The other day I fed TinEye a highly-cropped version of a photo, someone's avatar from a game that I half-recognized. It found the uncropped version, and a few alternate versions (not exact matches, but same subject, different paintings).
