You can generate a new key for this website at www.google.com/apis/maps/" How on earth is that threatening? It's just an honest message. You just have to use a valid key and follow their TOS. They even tell you where you can get a key for your site. This is pretty fair as far as I can see. I think it's wrong that you are trying to use a key that you do not own and as such Google has rightly blocked you from doing so. “The text of this threatening-and-somewhat-evil notice reads:
