Increasing the number of queries over 100k a day

[bombthebass]

I have emailed the email address 'a...@panoramio.com' several times and am still waiting for a response, hence me trying the forum. In the API it mentions you can have upto 100k queries a day. If I want potentially to increase this number what is the cost for a licence to do this? I cannot see it anywhere or help on how to do it other than emailing 'a...@panoramio.com' which I am not sure is being monitored by Google.
Can anyone from Panoramio help?????

The Panoramio team is very small, so it can take a number of days or even weeks to get a response. If you don't get a response within 2 weeks, send another email.

I speak only as a user: As for the 100k limit, that is not something I have heard of before, but I question whether you could legally buy a license to go over. The users (we are all users here in the forum) have licensed Google to make our images freely available via the API. As soon as Google starts selling licenses, they are effectively selling our images, something that none of us have licensed them to do. I am sure some (probably most) of the 5+ million users would be upset.

Hi AustinMN, thanks for the reply, yeah still waiting for a response from these guys. The 100k daily limit is in their Terms of Use http://www.panoramio.com/api/data/terms.html look under section 1.5
Would be great to hear from someone working for Panoramio so I can get this resolved as it is a right pain. I even tried calling Google, phone just rang out for ever with no one answering their reception here in Sydney.
