- hjnilsson 11y agoActually, it is the reverse. It is the database (ie. the map) that was found to be illegal. The photos contained within are not. And if they were not assembled into a database, they would all be perfectly legal. This is even explicitly mentioned in the court decision (in swedish): http://www.hogstadomstolen.se/Mer-om-Hogsta-domstolen/Nyheter-fran-Hogsta-domstolen/Hogsta-domstolen-avgor-tvist-om-internetbilder-av-konstverk/ http://www.hogstadomstolen.se/Mer-om-Hogsta-domstolen/Nyhete...
- Trombone12 11y agoNo, it is the act of pooling images into a database that is the issue. According to the court including the copyleft licensed photos in the database creates value that the creators then have a claim on. It is however from the ruling not clear exactly how the photos and metadata create value; for instance it seems clear like just hosting all the offending images on a separate service and naming them with guid:s will be perfectly fine so long as the user has to navigate and find the image themselves.
