Yes, I find this copyright message annoying as well. I have nothing against copyright messages and Microsoft has every right to display one on the maps but when the copyright message is right on the map and it covers 20% of a 600x400 map, it becomes stupid and makes the map useless. I realize they want to keep it on the map to make sure people don't crop it but it is really obtrusive. It's kind of like listening to a music CD where the singer speaks a copyright message every 20 seconds or so. I hope they change it in the next version. Just a suggestion.
