Fun fact, perhaps related, perhaps not, according to IP lawyer relatives cartographers had to traditionally add at least some non-factual content to make it not pure fact, which is not copyrightable. So a fully true map is not in their interest. Can someone with better legal knowledge confirm the truthiness of this anecodte?
Perhaps, and I am terrified to suggest this, this industry will come up with their own answer to that. Haha.

Sounds like an urban myth. Rather, it functions like a watermark. > Perhaps, and I am terrified to suggest this, this industry will come up with their own answer to that. Haha. Not really. We know copyright infringement is happening. The current problems the industry has with copyright protection lie in enforcing them.
