I'm not disagreeing that shouldn't be done, I'm saying we shouldn't be in such a mad rush that any means justify the ends. There is numerous avenues we can use that don't require us to go out on each and every street but at the same time we don't need to resort to leeching off incorrect data either. > Therefore it's worth at least briefly considering alternate legal > methods, which is all that Steve is suggesting. But he's not suggesting legal methods, he's suggesting inflicting copyinfringement and/or breach of contract on OSM, the kind of thing where even if you are in the right the other side can bankrupt you before you ever get close to winning. However that doesn't meant there aren't completely legal methods, like emailing/writing to councils to get this information. Although it does mean he won't get instant gratification as a result. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
