well the flash image moves around and shows more data. but ok. maybe they are not tiles, but one tile. anyway..<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 21, 2010 at 9:53 PM, Frederik Ramm <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:frederik@remote.org">frederik@remote.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I just saw this , very interesting.<br>

Mobile Spy and Akamai are using unattributed osm tiles in flash ads.<br>

More precisely, "Mobile Spy is using a single image of ca. 250x100 pixels that looks like it might come from OpenStreetMap in an advert". I don't see evidence for the plural but maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.<br>
<br>
Akamai (and <a href="http://edgesuite.net" target="_blank">edgesuite.net</a>) are just content delivery networks; they are "using" that image in the same fashion as <a href="http://blogspot.com" target="_blank">blogspot.com</a> are "using" it after you created the page you have linked to above ;)<br>
<br>
Legally they might have to attribute OSM but I'm really thankful they don't, because what they have to sell is some shady software that claims to be able to "locate" people when in reality it's just an x-ray pornocam style rip-off and I would't want to see OSM mentioned in that context.<br>
