Mapping technology has inserted itself into our everyday lives, even to the point of becoming indispensable. Yet our legal framework for maps has changed little since the days of the British Mandate.
The Mandate government issued the first official notice concerning copyrights in maps on February 20, 1937 – 77 years ago. David Yudelovich, a trailblazing student of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda wanted to include some government maps in a book about the history of Rishon Lezion. The British, organized as always, took this as an opportunity to issue a regulation. The regulation included detailed instructions about how government maps could be used and how royalties would be calculated and paid.
