This seems like it gets posted every week. I have to say so what? Is it not totally understandable? I mean, cartography is an invaluable tool and because there information is public knowledge there has to be some way to stop those would cut corners and copy a map. Does it lead people astray sometimes? Sure. But is it causing so much harm that the practice needs to be called into question? No.
I'm not really sure why this gets posted here without any context though. Is this supposed to be a statement about copyright? If so, I have to say I'm really sick of these clever attempts to show how copyright is bad. Copyright is not good or bad in and of itself. It can be both and any discussion of it in absolute terms is ridiculous.
