rjcarr - Allan probably found this post through a search. Google also gives the same error message on other services, not just the tile server, when it thinks you might be abusing its servers. – RandomEtc, on July 09, 2008 19:37

What does giving you image tiles (outside of their intended use) have to do with searching? I'm looking for a solution too, that's why I'm at this thread, but they have every right to limit the access to their tiles. – rjcarr, on July 08, 2008 23:08

I called it: Netflix wasn't ever serious about removing them, but now they look like they listen to users (otherwise why give such an odd VERY far away date like 1 September?). Victory truly for Netflix, to convince users they matter :)

They were pretty adamant that the decision was made and they weren't going to listen to complaints, but they did listen after all. Bravo to both the people who complained and Netflix for listening.
