This article highlights legal, ethical and scientific problems arising from the use of large experimental datasets gathered from the Internet - in particular, image datasets. Such datasets are currently used within research into topics such as information forensics and image-processing. This paper strongly recommends against webcrawling as a means for generating experimental datasets, and proposes safer alternatives.Downloads
