I’m sorry but personally I do not believe the public should have to prove all data posted by big companies is or isn’t invading privacy, the company should prove all data is legal before releasing it. I’m used to my privacy being invaded and abused by my government, not happy of course, but private companies doing this is just not acceptable.

Then it may have morphed into the private property access thing and less about the imagery.

I don't like the fact that anyone can view your home, street, etc..etc.. I wish there was a place where you could submmit your information for your address to dissapear from the web site. Or also to complaint about it. If anyone knows how we can remove our info please post it. Thanks. L I really hope that this couple wins this lawsuit against Google.

Unless the Google Van broke through a physical barrier to obtain the images, I do not think the private couple will win any case against Google on this.
