Then ask them.
Don't spam my mailbox, spam theirs. This endless prattling is getting
nowhere.
You can always stop listening ...
I'm LOOKING at images on Streetview under the same 'it's OK' as I'm using the
Bing imagery and other available resources. I am not hacking past anybodies
'API' ... I am using a service provided as it has been provided and am looking
at the result. If they do not want us to look at the images they generate then
they should require us to log in and sign an agreement at which point there is a
'contract' but while material is made visible it IS only copyright that applies.
If I 'cut and paste' something or trace something I am copying. If I look at the
material and write my own conclusions then it is free speech. The 'Easter egg'
suggestion has been made, and PERSONALLY I would flag anything like that I found
as such as other users need to know that other sources are providing incorrect
information! But I would keep that to personal posts rather than commit the
information to OSM at the moment ... There is an 'Easter Egg' list somewhere
isn't there? The important point here is I do NOT use information viewed on
Streetview if it is my ONLY source! I DO use it to establish any discrepancies
... I am looking for the Easter Eggs :)
