Another aspect we have to see is if what happens if I take a photo in 
private building. Can I take that photo? If I can take a photo of 
private building, then yahoo can take satellite photos and we could map 
with that. In Spain, I think no problem if someone take a photo of 
private building (with no appear of persons; the persons have the right 
not appearing in the photo "Intimacy right").... I don't know in other 
countries. And I don't know if satellite photo is the same as photo.

Thanks for answering. Perhaps someone in legal list could enlight us....
