Perhaps they might read your email on a public list?
And what does that prove? They can certainly trawl through everything everybody
has contributed and try and identify some single item that might have been
viewed on Streetview. If I'm not allowed to look at Streetview simply because I
also contribute then that is just insane? They 'copy' enough from other sources
that many of their claims would be difficult to justify in a court of law ...
but the whole basis of Streetview is that THEY are free to photograph private
property without any reference to the property owner while we would be
prosecuted if we climbed up a ladder to look at the same view? Using that
information in another website might well make us liable for prosecution, where
Google just ignore the problem?
I'll carry on looking at Streetview and filling in bits on OSM that Streetview
misses anyway :)
