I'm not sure there is a good one. Generally, other people's photographs are their property, so scraping them would raise a whole bunch of problems if you have another person's photograph that they don't want you to have. Sounds silly, since you'd be in the photographs, but the site would get a lot of takedown requests. Not that YouTube doesn't, but you get the idea. I'm sure someone's done it though, I just don't know who.

You could potentially get around the copyright policy by putting a disclaimer that the user most 'own' or have permission to grab the images. It's no different than someone downloading a copyrighted picture and uploading them to another service. The other big issue I can foresee is that most of the sharing websites don't have api's for you to programatically get at photos. They in fact do their best to prevent you from ripping photos. You would have to play a pretty nasty cat and mouse game there.
