Check the laws in your country before doing this, in Sweden you need permission to distribute aerial photos.

The internet makes that problematical. Does 'distribution' include 'share on facebook'?

I've been wondering for some time, how far do national laws about data sharing matter any more?

[sorenjan]

Yes, any distribution including online. Personally I think it's a bit anachronistic to ban distribution of photos now when it's so easy to take and distribute them, not to mention all kinds of commercial services with free aerial and street view photos. People do get prosecuted for it still, so it very much matters.

I share such photos, and never got arrested. But I'm not Swedish.

If you're Swedish and share such photos in the US, is it a crime?

Where is the 'internet' at? Certainly not in any particular nation.

Thus my confusion.

law !== enforcement

thus why “nothing to hide” applies to very few people as most people could be taken to court for something and by judge or jury punished for that thing. Let alone sued.
