> Is the results page a possible liability for Google?

Absolutely. Google previously had a direct link to the full-size image, but it has removed this due to potential legal issues. See [0].

> Is that a violation if the bakery didn't advertise it?

According to Disney, it is. See [1].

> Any privately commissioned art?

Not any art, no. Only that which uses IP/material they do not have a license to.

I started to go down the rabbit hole of commissioned fan art. To say that that is a quagmire is an understatement. :(

I mean, isn't most of that "It's trademark infringement, but it is both financially tedious and a PR disaster to go after any but the most prominent cases"

Which is why e.g. Bethesda is not going to slap you for your Mr House or Pip-Boy fanart, but will slap the projects that recreate Fallout 3 in engine X.

The tables turn when it's not just some fans doing it, which takes time and effort. AI generated images can be pumped out by the thousands, and big companies are behind these services. See the problem?
