Couple sues Google to keep their property “private”

April 4, 2008 – 1:17 pm

It’s almost like the story that caused the “Streisand Effect” to be coined.  Google StreetView captures images of homes and businesses all over the country.  In this case, they went on a private road to get their imagery, and the owners of a house on that road are suing Google to get the images removed (oh, and $25,000).

Of course, this has quickly caused images of their house to spread everywhere.  More details can be found on the Digital Earth Blog or the Smoking Gun.
