A Pennsylvania family is suing Google for posting pictures of its house on its 'Street view' feature of Google Maps. The family claims a Google van trespassed on a clearly marked private road and stepped into the driveway of the home in order to obtain photographs.
In response, Google's team of six lawyers issued the statement, "Today's satellite-image technology means that even in today's desert, complete privacy does not exist. In any event, Plaintiffs live far from the desert and are far from hermits." They do however, admit that the photographs of the property were obtained after "brief entry upon their driveway."
The web giant says it is prepared to demonstrate that there was no aforementioned private road, and that the photographs, which have since been removed from the site, do not constitute grounds for a lawsuit.
