[OSM-legal-talk] Someone already had a look at the Bing TermsofUse?

[Simon Poole]

Because your statement is simply wrong in the generality you made it.

For example in Germany simple "Lichtbilder"  (which would include areial 
photographs) have the same protection as photographic works of art 
("Lichtbildwerke") with the exception of the proctection term. And there is 
at least one German higher court judgement in which tracing a non-artistic 
photograph was considered copyright infringement

PS: and the relevance is that very likely the majority of bing tracing right 
now is going on in -Germany-
