"Do not upload pictures containing *celebrities*, nudity, *artwork* or copyrighted images."
Celebrities, artwork? Sounds kinda stupid. Why shouldn't I be able to use my own artwork? Or my own face, if I'm a celebrity? |
Furthermore, since I own the copyright to all my own images, that doesn't leave me with many choices... ;-) |
I think we can still upload blank images, or text. Seriously, that avatar is very small, so it's fair use. |
Philipp: Google always had this warning.. (well, not for the gadget, but for Gmail Talk)
