Mike - Brian Kelly and I raised this aeons back on MCG; it was that strand about their terms and conditions. They've liberalized their T&c's - apparently - but this caching issue is the real problem, as you rightly point out. Anyone else worried about this?

Last one this week. I promise. Maybe.
I was admiring the LACMA Pinterest board - http://pinterest.com/lacma/ -
and then started doing some right clicking. Up until now I'd perhaps
naively assumed that Pinterest, a bit like Culture Grid, stored only
metadata and the embedded images were still hosted on the original sites.
But it turns out they're all cached, and stored on Pinterest itself.
Actually, this doesn't surprise me at all, as it's what anyone would do if
they were building a service like that - but I am interested in the fact
that museums - who are traditionally worried about "losing" their images
are ok with this.
What's the score? Are we ok with this because of the traffic it generates?
Is it ok because these resources all have links through to the original
page? Or are we finally accepting that stuff on the web is...on the web...?
I'm asking because I'm in the middle of designing something museum/object
related and I'm wondering which route to go down :-)
cheers!
Mike
