Makes me think of licensing to the DoD or INS… scary, though they probably already have technology of this kind.

I do see serious privacy concerns with this as others have pointed out. In fact, I would much prefer this to be a desktop app., or at least have a desktop client app, that would allow users to choose which pictures/ image libraries to tag locally on their machines, and which to upload.

Personally, I would prefer to simply use a riya desktop app for my own pics, tag them locally, and keep them private.
