Copyright infringement is nothing to do with it, as per Bauman vs Fussell,
Antiquesportfolio vs Fitch, etc.

The question is whether it's breach of contract (ToS). Yahoo have told us it
isn't. Google have thus far refused to give an official answer, despite
1,500+ people saying they want one.

(This stuff should really be on legal-talk!)
