Check out DERM - Digital Earth Reference Model. When all is said and done my sense is; wouldn't it be nice if we could make our own maps and share them with our communities of interest. Google may own the data and their mapping but they do not own the Earth. I think the value network built aroound data/information will always exsist but chnages are in the works. Keep the faith - the day when all users are able to map the Physical Domain to the Information Domain on-demand is fast approaching.

My personal values are that the world has been made a worse place because of that restriction. That doesn't mean it should be illegal or anything, but I strongly disagree with using the word 'fair' in describing the actions of any corporation. Corporations are _best case_ required to be legal positivists. And legal positivism is a far cry from questions of fairness. When we try to be 'fair' in our dealings with corporations we get screwed. I'm not saying they are evil for this, just that the world is worse off. And of course you are right re. OSM!

But try to see it from Google's point of view. They've shelled out millions of dollars for access to this imagery, so they want to control how it's used. It's fair enough, really. That's why we need an open GIS and mapping alternative to Google Maps, such as OpenStreetMap http://www.openstreetmap.org/ but it's got a long way to go... Paul. I feel your pain.
