herme3 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 TerraServer at http://www.terraserver.com is a service that provides online imagery. They are a very popular web site, and they started in 1997. Microsoft opened a web site in 1998 at http://www.terraserverusa.com and it seems to provide a similar service. On this web site, it says: TerraServer is operated by the Microsoft Corporation as a research project for developing advanced database technology, and was born at the Microsoft Bay Area Research Center. TerraServer's foundation is Microsoft SQL Server 2000, the complete relational database management and analysis system for building scalable e-commerce, line-of-business, and data warehousing solutions. I can't find any information about Microsoft at http://www.terraserver.com. So, isn't Microsoft breaking the copyrights of http://www.terraserver.com by claiming that they own the service?
