  I also support such actions. To be less intrusive and more diplomatic, the box could be smaller and semi transparent, and the text rewrittten to be more specific What's about something like ?

I would be very very wary of doing anything that deliberately defaces a web site without consulting with a local (to the country the web site is in) lawyer, particularly if the message implies wrong doing.


Illegal use of OSM data and violating terms of use of service is a clear wrong doing.

I am not a lawyer, but showing message informing about violating license and 
terms of use of service seems 100% OK in case of website actually violating
OSM license.
And I fully support websites doing this.

To be more clear: I fully support action like OSM France to actually enforce
license requirements using methods like described here or by a legal action like
DMCA takedown notices against entities refusing to show a proper attribution.
