> I think Terms of Service are an agreement between the end-user and the site/service, not the software developer and the site. Don't be too sure about that -- the software developer usually is an end-user to at least some extent, if for no other reason than to ascertain how to scrape the site, and might very well be bound by the ToS. (Check out the link I provided about browse-wrap agreements.) > Google isn't agreeing to the ToS of every site someone visits using Chrome. No, but you might be inducing someone else's infringement, which could make you just as liable. You really need to talk to a good copyright lawyer about this. (Not me -- unfortunately I'm committed to other projects.)
