Thanks -- yes appreciate the heads up on the issue, and please give us a few days to get this fixed. Mapbox takes attribution very seriously, and has relationships with the relevant customers to get this addressed.
And by the way, working on setting up a contact point where attribution issues on Mapbox hosted maps can be directly reported.

 I agree, as we are on "speaking terms"  with mapbox, it seems to me that we can easily fix this like gentlemen.
Kind regards,
Milo

  They don't seem to cut the image, as the problem seems to come from mapbox directly. I think that sending now a copyright notice to BK/mapbox would seem a bit premature and upfront. Give them time for the email to travel to the right person and to think/react for a bit. After some time then, maybe. Cheers, Benoit

 Mikel, I wonder if they just crop the image for the website, cutting off attribution? They haven't replied to me, so I am going to look for something like a legal contact at Burger King. Though we could issue a copyright takedown to AWS.

    Burgerking is using the static image api from mapbox: 
  http://api.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/dondeinc.ilo032fk/url-http%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Fdonde-img%2Fpin-bk.png%3Fc%3D3(-117.4382504,47.71573001)/-117.4382504,47.71573001,16/640x640.png
  
  So perhaps mapbox should be asked why attribution is not visible in the static image api.

  I notices a new user added a fast food node [1] in Spokane, WA. The name was entered as BK. Assuming it was probably a Burger King, I did a search and  found that it was actually a Burger King restaurant. What I noticed was their map [2] was identical to OSM.  
  I sent a message via their contact me link on the page asking that they comply with our terms of use.  
  Has anyone else noticed Burger King using OSM data before?

  On a side note, I did send the user a message asking to verify the name. First time user with MAPS.ME.
