What's keeping my house in good order, and being a good neighbour got to do with electing to use the option offered to me by Google to remove these images? Are you saying I'm wrong for doing so? I'm saying that this matter is still very subjective, it's all new, and there are no wrong or right answer yet, but isn't it still my choice? Google seems to agree with me.

Well you ruined your street in streetview, and diminished the usefulness of the product for everybody else. Of course it is your choice.

Would you feel the same if streetview was a government project? Sure, google is a company, probably they'll get something out of it. But then again, they created this really cool utility and document for people - and you spoiled it.

How exactly does it ruin streetview for you if his house is not included?
