    That’s not at all what happened.

    If you had read your own link, the second paragraph:

    An Argentine captured naked in his yard by a Google Street View camera has been awarded compensation by a court after his bare behind was splashed over the internet for all to see.

    He won $16,000 because Google didn’t blur his butt in the picture.

      Why would it need to blur it? If you were passing by, I assume you’d see it, so you might as well take a pic and use it for your own corporate needs. That’s the logic we’re talking about here, though it’s not my logic.

        I didn’t get into the details too much once I saw that it was completely irrelevant to their point.

        If I had to guess, it would be because Google Maps gets a lot more views than the man typically recieves while walking naked in public.
