[quote=MUDDIEDKNEES,282596]Johnny, if I take an airplane, fly over your house, take a picture of your block, and then post this picture on the Internet, did I just 'spy' on your privacy? Unless your house is an important landmark, almost nobody would recognize it and very few would know that you live there. Also, Google does not take these pictures. Google does not own satelites. These pictures are commercially available and anyone (any government, corporation, or individual) who can pay can purchase them. Google is doing ordinary individuals a favor by giving us access to information that are otherwise available only to the rich and well-connected. BTW, Microsoft has a similar tool called Virtual Earth. You can access it at: http://www.microsoft.com/virtualearth/[/quote]
