because they consent the use of the database to find books. Also Google
Streetview consents the use of their database, but they have ToS associated
with that use, and if you use their db, you agree to be subject to their
ToS.


The Google StreetView database isn't in Europe, it doesn't have any

it has. At least if there aren't for Streetview in particular, the ones of
Googlemaps in general do apply.
