Esri announced a partnership with digital globe to update their world imagery layer. DG provides at least portion of and probably some of the better imagery available on GE so the Esri layer may soon be comparable to GE. Which I'm sure was their thinking.

Three questions on whether this is possible: 1. I recall there were KML or XML files that can be exported from Google Earth, and with the proper tools, converted to imagery of a format suitable for ArcGIS. Does the imagery lose resolution as you make these changes for Arc compatibility? 2. Do you have to buy the tools that can do this? 3. Are there copyright infringement restrictions for taking the imagery out of Google Earth to use in different software instead of G Earth? I’m looking for an experienced user who knows, and either does this routinely or avoids it because it would be copyright infringement. Maybe you’re that person!
