The answer to "can X be sued for Y?" is always yes, you can sue anyone for anything, this doesn't say anything about whether you'll succeed.

technically true but the original Streisand effect was about an image that had been downloaded six times before the lawsuit; Organic Maps is definitely a lot less obscure than that

If that were true, Disney and similar companies should be lobbying for the abolition or at least weakening of copyright, which we can tell isn't the case.

There definitely is data in OSM that isn't in Google Maps, that is what makes OSM so great! :D

Wikipedia has images of nude humans in articles about sexuality and genitals, so that would be a possible reason there; not applicable to OSM.

Honestly it is less severe than speeding. Copyright was an invention of the pre-digital era. Now that we all use computers, so many things we do every day are technically copyright infringement that it is absurd to even have these kinds of conversations.

Yeah but state constitutions can grant additional rights (versus state law and state institutions) in addition to those guaranteed by the federal constitution. That is what is going on here to my understanding, hard for SCOTUS to rule that the state constitution cannot do that.

I am not American, so my opinion doesn't matter anyway, but if I were, then Harris would probably be the first time I would be voting for a major party candidate. She has her flaws too I am sure, but no one better seems to be running this time.

We're right under the flight path for the scheduled orbital launch, but don't worry--it's too cold out for the rockets to operate safely, so I'm sure they'll postpone.

In contrast to Pascal's Wager Triangle, Pascal's Triangle Wager argues that maybe God wants you to draw a triangle of numbers where each one is the sum of the two numbers above it, so you probably should, just in case.
