</div>I tell you what, if this thread can help me find a picture site that<br>
can meet these requirements (I don't care about paying for it), I will<br>
pitch in and help with the API part. I am well versed in Web<br>
automation and even for AJAX/DHTML intensive site using Mozrepl and<br>
mech::firefox<br>
<br>
Must haves:<br>
1) That I can upload images and share them to individuals only (private albums)<br>
2) That people can access them without having to subscribe to the<br>
site, just click the link and presto<br>
Nice to haves:<br>
3) That you can make downloading/save/print optional per share (e.g. I<br>
want you to see it but not necessarily download)<br>
4) mp4 support with compatible player for Linux, Mac (+ iOS) and Windoze<br>
<br>
Yeah, I know that 3 is probably easily hackable but at least some<br>
basic protections from the "normal" user such as context menu block,<br>
and even an anti-screen-shot protection (client-side JS showing only<br>
random pieces at a time just enough for a still image[1]).<br>
<br>
And one final question, if such a site does not exists, don't you guys<br>
think it would be very cool that it did? The target: people like me<br>
who are on Facebook only because it helps me keep in touch with<br>
people, but despise it in general, and I'd like to share stuff with<br>
people without the fear of these pictures appearing on fb without my<br>
authorization. Nor do I want to put mi images and videos somewhere<br>
that wants to keep the right to them. I think there should be a simple<br>
and clean _paid_ picture hosting service where you are in complete<br>
control of your information.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Notes:<br>
<br>
[1] I have JS code we developed for banks and gov that do this so it<br>
can't be that hard for an image hosting site to offer such sort of<br>
anti-screen-shot protection, and also to implement server side<br>
protections on the image as well. Example, the server never delivers<br>
the image but rather pieces of it that are rebuilt using some math<br>
formula and that is request-specific.<br>
