In reality, it isn't.  It's factual information about the world, which
is not copyrightable in the USA, and given your sweat of the brow in
tracing it, is copyrightable (but it's YOUR copyright for having
traced) in the UK.

But that's not the point.  The point is that the Google Terms of Use
prohibit tracing.  Point.
