Look at this: https://developers.google.com/terms/ linked from there: https://developers.google.com/picasa-web/terms
It basically means, that using there storage service, you (the picture owner) grant them all rights and you got allmost none :) You should read the whole stuff, but "especially look at section: Prohibitions on Content". Which tells the user (aka programmer / me) of there API, that a program (aka plugin) is not allowed to fetch data from there service, to store it into an other service (aka TS). It even tells the programmer (me) to forbid such usage to the enduser (you). Except (quote from, see full text at:[1 section: Prohibitions on Content]) Unless expressly permitted by the content owner or by applicable law (/quote). So this is cool for your own content, bacause you are the rights owner. But _not cool_ for any other public content, because you are _not the owner_. ===== So fetching stuff from there and save it to TS, imo is not allowed, except you have the authKey _and_ having the authKey means the owner licensed it eg: Creative Commons: to Share — to copy, distribute and transmit the work to Remix — to adapt the work. @any lawyers opinions??? :) > > This would need to load picture stuff into TW.

I do like your thoughts and feedback. I'd wish some more TS / picass users would jump in ... have fun! mairo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
