Re: [Air-L] seeking advice regarding research on photo-sharing websites

Well, I think he should ask permission, but mostly because it is the ethical option. I expect that if he explains his use is non-profit and research oriented, he'll be fine. I think that I would suspect that he would need to seek a lawyer's opinion as to whether the terms of use actually apply to his case at all, it is not always clear that they are enforceable across borders, or that all of there terms are legal across borders. I am not a lawyer, so i am just skeptical about it.
