Ability to hide image data and copyright information

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There is no inbuilt way to turn the image data off. You can hide it with a 
ground overlay that covers the globe but all the copyright information is still 
displayed. It would be great to be able to start with a blank globe and add the 
image data only if required. See this thread

You are dreaming! Image data and copyright information are necessary 
information as
it is written in the terms of use. Not?

This would be extremely useful. Once this became a feature, then printing might 
be
able to become a feature.

The copyright data should only be shown for things that are visible - if I 
stick *my*
carefully crafted ground overlay over the existing imagery then I should be 
able to
show *my* copyright, not that of whoever supplied the nolonger visible pixels.

Since actually calculating this visibility is not the easiest thing in the 
world,
please, please let us turn off the image data. As a side issue, allow us to add 
our
own copyrights to the display.

It sounds like Google Earth Enterprise (that is, a custom imagery database) is 
the correct 
solution for the use cases presented in this request.
