  Wouldn't this break the fundamental law that information cannot be
transported between two points faster than c?

  In other words, you would have to travel from Earth to an extreme
point in the visible Universe, then to the other extreme, and then back
to Earth, all the while taking photos along the way. This would mean
that you are transporting information between humongous distances in a
short period of time.

  Even if "hyperdrive" would be based on warping space, would this
warping happen faster than c? Wouldn't it break the fundamental principle?
