This exposes the ludicrous nature of the antipiracy belief system, because the argument is fundamentally the same. Here google created a free function that works for the company (helping to promote Google as a whole), and these French cartographical companies, believing that they can't compete with free, went and bitched to the government.
Google showed the service can be made free and effective, and established companies dislike it, so they cheat.
