It may be possible to create a software layer where each user downloads the
images themselves on the fly for their own personal use. But I don't think
that is actually allowed under the terms of their license agreement. I
believe anything that could be used to bypass google earth and download and
store the raw image data in some alternative location or format is expressly
forbidden.

Curt.
