<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buvette_Prouv%C3%A9-Novarina">https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buvette_Prouv%C3%A9-Novarina</a><br>
<br>
there is the text instead of the illustration photo: "Bātiment
soumis au droit d'auteur", in English it means: <span
id="result_box" class="short_text" tabindex="-1" lang="en"><span
class="">"Building subject to copyright". The owner of this
building for some reason does not want it to be photographed.<br>
<br>
However there is still the photo of this building on satellite
imagery, and it is mapped at the OSM accordingly:</span></span>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://osm.org/go/0CHfVKnEW?m=">https://osm.org/go/0CHfVKnEW?m=</a><br>
<br>
In my opinion since the building is clearly visible to public on
the ground it could be visible on a photo. Still it is forbidden
to publish its photo at Wikipedia. The obvious question is, - if
it cannot be photographed from the ground, can it be photographed
from space by a satellite? Of from the air by a drone? And mapped
consequently?<br>
<br>
On the other hand, it is close to impossible to ask every building
owner if he consents his building photographed from space. In
other words reductio ad absurdum.<br>

<div class="">I understand how Wikimedia as generic platform has
their concerns, as they may need to cite articles from
traditional media etc. AFAIK OSM has very "appropriate and
proportionate " measures in place since the beginning, just as
required in the bill, to protect against illegal upload of
copyrighted content, which are illegal imports in our terms. It
is never bullet-proof, but I don't see any legal risk or trouble
here. Of course it could be me being ignorant or naive.</div>
