Lukas, IMHO a single fact is not copyrightable so if you take details about the POI from the web site run by the POI operator themselves, you should be fine.
However if you take the same information from a collection (your difference between 4 and 1), then the maintainer of that collection could potentially claim database rights, *especially* if the collective of OSM editors uses that source in more that one case and therefore they could say that we "repeatedly extract" data. So I'd say 1 is a problem but 4 is not. > Case 2: > Assuming the website of the POI is showing a picture of the POI itself.

To be safe I'd try and stick to Bing imagery altough it would probably be hard to prove you've looked at non-Bing. > If the building where the POI is situated is not present in the OSM database > yet, but the person who wants to add the POI knows its exact position, is it > legal/desirable that the POI is added anyway? Sure, buildings to hold the POI are not required.
