Perhaps the OSM database should be moved out of the EU to a location that doesn't suffer from a Database Rights law. Extracting from no-EU data source by people not in the EU would then be okay for sure. Extending the Database Rights law to extracting turn restrictions from Streetview is a stretch anyway: they turn restrictions aren't part of the original data.
