It's a sad reality that Google or companies like that will use YOUR (or anyone's) images without a license and you can't sue them?

What laws are these?

Because the UK has signed the same international copyright treaties as US and most of Europe etc.

They're laws that don't get enforced because the companies are simply too large and can get away with it. It's more effective and more profitable for the court systems to go after the smaller 'offenders.'
