- kerkeslager 6y agoAgreed. You seem to be missing the part where this is no longer publicly available because the USGS no longer has the data.
- kevindong 6y agoI believe the original author meant that Google doesn't have to turn over aerial scans that Google commissioned (not the scans they took of the USGS files). Furthermore, I'd be shocked if Google just kept the original copies that the USGS gave them.
