[WikiEN-l] no more PD satellite photos?

[Stephan Walter]

Hi all,

I just saw this on /.:

http://www.defensetech.org/archives/001096.html

U.S. government is proposing to exempt satellite images from the Freedom 
of Information Act (FOIA), meaning that it wouldn't have to release them 
to the public.

If this law gets passed, this could be the end of a great source of PD 
satellite images: http://visibleearth.nasa.gov

What do you think? Something we should do? Stockpiling nasa images? Or 
am I just panicking? :-)

Regards,
Stephan Walter
