4-Billion-Pixel Panorama View From Curiosity Rover 101

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday March 28, 2013 @07:59PM from the take-a-look dept.

A reader points out that there is a great new panorama made from shots from the Curiosity Rover. "Sweep your gaze around Gale Crater on Mars, where NASA's Curiosity rover is currently exploring, with this 4-billion-pixel panorama stitched together from 295 images. ...The entire image stretches 90,000 by 45,000 pixels and uses pictures taken by the rover's two MastCams. The best way to enjoy it is to go into fullscreen mode and slowly soak up the scenery — from the distant high edges of the crater to the enormous and looming Mount Sharp, the rover's eventual destination."

As I understand copyright laws, then unless you give someone explicit permission they don't have any permissions. If that's correct, then maybe a missing/empty robots.txt should be taken as a "Do Not Enter!" sign.
I realise this will probably give web-masters more to do, and possibly more complex robots.txt files, but I also thing that it would make people/companies consider more carefully what and how they publish on the web.
It's a thought anyway.
