It is against the Terms of Service, para 7.4(d) and 9.3(a):
7.4 (d) Proprietary Rights Notices.

According to GoogleGroups some people explain how to move or remove these elements. But HTML code may change and broke the tricks.
A turn around could be CSS property overflow:hidden sets on GoogleMaps DIV or a wrapper DIV. It's legally border line but google do this on their own web site. Warning ! this CSS property can do side effects.
