[Toolserver-l] Google Art Project ripping

[Magnus Manske]

I see "NPG, reloaded" coming our way...

Note that Commons already has plenty of images from at least some of
these museums, e.g.:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Van_Gogh_Museum

For the rest, we could just ask them "now that Google has put images
online, can we too?", then go and take our own pictures.

Too radical? ;-)
