Is there a way to retrieve the copyright information Google Maps displays at the bottom right of the map for a given map-bounds-rectangle? That is, other than looking for it in the DOM. For example, for the default view on http://maps.google.com I would like to obtain "©2011 Europa Technologies, INEGI, MapLink".

The API seems to send a request for it (i.e. http://maps.google.com/maps/vp?spn=0.042254,0.136385&z=14&vp=51.452509,-0.121365&ev=zi&hl=en&country= ) but I would prefer to access it through the API rather than directly.

Why do you want this information?

I would like to display it in my custom map viewer. I'm accessing the tiles and everything else through the API, so I believe it's not against the ToS.
