I can make my own pictures if I have a 6 megapixel camera as well. I
just can't make /the same/ pictures as Google, at least not easily.
The question is if leeching a couple of 7 gigapixel images to Commons
is worth p*****g off the GLAMs (and Google).
I think it's not, and the exchange on the cultural-partners mailing
list about this topic seems to agree with me. These few pictures could
set back any months (years even) of efforts for good collaborations
with the GLAMs.
Aaah, politics...
