You're probably right. If we do this correctly, it'll be no different from what Google does by caching. There's "fair use" written all over it. But keep in mind that if we do this, someone is bound to get pissed, just because they can. I hesitate to host them on Traversal's site just because we'd be a nice big lawsuit target (despite the fact that we have no capital). Keep in mind that many law suits are predatory in nature. Right or wrong, we wouldn't be able to defend ourselves. So.... someone from Europe whose country's laws make this very clearly legal and above board with no doubts of any kind needs to host this stuff. -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Open Graphics Project _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
