Hello Ted.

There are not currently any BOSS parameters which will allow you to accomplish this.

All of the current BOSS image parameters are described here:

Is there any way with BOSS API to prevent copyrighted images from appearing in search results?

I've tried simple stuff like adding '-copyright' or '-"rights reserved"' to queries, but these phrases don't appear to be indexed even when they appear on referring page. For example,

http://www.flickr.com/photos/urloth/2195542225/

contains the phrase "All rights reserved", but images from this page still return for the query:

http://boss.yahooapis.com/ysearch/images/v1/Gensler+-rights+-reserved?format=xml&dimensions=medium,large,wallpaper,widewallpaper&appid=<omitted>&count=20

Is there some other effective way to omit copyrighted images from results?
