In my state it is perfectly legal to do just that, as it is in most states in the US.
Come on over and try it, no one has the legal right to stop you.

heck yea it does!

Don’t “blurr” the issue.

The only one trolling with a blurred point of view is you my friend.

Should I cross over into the states and start filming people and their things there? Maybe put up a notice on some obscure website that I’ll be there next week to start filming places in the states and put it all on a huge database?

Whats up with me having to ask the the creators of any movie, song or whatever before I download it? that never happend… and now we’re upset if someone takes a picture of our street?

I dont get the privacy issue, as long as it doesnt outline the door and has that nice google-maps bubble saying “this is where p2pnet lives. He downloads stuff”

And the last troll comment:
As long as its not the government taking these pictures to ensure we’re all “safe and sound”, I’m not worried.

I myself want an opt-in and not be automatically opted-in by this foreign company filimingg me, my kids, my home my lic plate, the car I drive, the technology on the roof of my house, my address, if I have a crack on my window that some local window shop will see and bug me about, the profiling of area’s or homes for commercial use or military maps , on and on.

But what will PrivCom do about it? They already got blown off by a P.I. firm.

I don’t disagree with you.

PrivCom already pointed out many of the issues, yet boogle is going at it anyhow.

That’s all I’m trying to say. Maybe I don’t know what I’m saying?

And where is this bilingual website that shows where and when they filmed or will film?

I’m not really expecting Gargle to do anything. However, I have a voice and I’m using it.

Lots of voices would make lots of difference not only to this, but to all kinds of other concerns, such as the privacy and security issues Gogle is rigidly ignoring.

Cheers!

I read the privacy complaint on privcom.gc.ca about the insurance company hiring a P.I. who was filming people not even involved in the investigation.

When an Innocent complained about herself and daughter being filmed, PrivCom took up the complaint.

The P.I. firm and/or Insurance cmpany more or less told the privacy commissioner where to go. End of story.

Now, boogle is a U.S. firm storing your B.C. family’s pic, house, whats on your house (ie. satellite maybe an illegal satellite dish!) and lic. plate over in texas (or somewhere).

k?

Stop for a minute and ask yourself this; if this Canadian insurance/P.I. firm will tell PrivCom where to shove their privacy clauses, do you think boogle will just bow down to what you, PrivCom or anyone else has to say?

They will (in a manner consistent with do no evil) tell PrivCom where and how to put their clause’s and findings.

I’m proud of our PrivCom, its openness, their accessibility, and their work in educating and informing people (plus more), BUT, I am starting to see PrivCom as being all bark and no bite, and easily pushed.

Maybe I’m wrong. But this is what I have been noticing.

Jon probably has more privacy rights is he took a plane trip to the E.U. and was filmed there than here in his own country.

What’s PrivCom going to do about it? Tell boogle to delete their data that’s on a US server some place? puh-lease.

If it’s not a problem for you, it’s not a problem for you, and that’s fine.

@ “upset when someone uses picture taken outdoors in public for non commercial use”

It’s for commercial use, whatever Gargoyle says.

Cheers!

“Can I copyright my house?”
Some creations fall outside of copyright law. – architecture, sculptures are some of those as I recall.

When I spot my house on google I am going to sue them like the pirate bay was sued

Can I copyright my house? or use some strange patent law and then sue google for stealing it?

I think they got along fine without the intrusion, imho.

stw

I really don’t think thats justification enough.
I have used the service, and I like it, but I got along
just fine without it before.

Too much paperwork doesn’t make ’sneaky’ ok.

It’s completely legal for someone to do that in my state.
As for this part ..

” we are willing to support downloading mp3’s for free for non commercial use without the riaas permission
yet are upset when someone uses picture taken outdoors in public for non commercial use. seems hypocritical ”

Troll methinks, and you got hooked.
Ignore it.

If they had to get permission, then it would never happen due to the paperwork.
And we would never have the advantage of the service it provides.

How exactly are these related??? And besides that, what if a non-corporate individual walked up on the sidewalk
in front of YOUR house while your outside, and snapped a few pics “just because”?? Wouldn’t like that too
well would ya??
