[OSM-talk] Photobucket

[Etienne]

IANAL but it seems to me the rights they claim effectively give them
"ownership" of a copy of the photo.  The only difference is that you own an
exactly identical copy.

As for the photos being worthless... look at like this:  If you owned a
database containing photographs of *every* square yard of the populated
planet, except for the places containing street signs, how much would it be
worth to fill the missing squares?  In a street of anonymous identical
houses, the street sign is one of the slightly more interesting things.
