[OSM-talk] Google StreetView From Bikes

I'm sure there is lots of intelligent argument on both sides of the 
fence and I have no desire of going into the details here.

But on a more general note - I think that someone's privacy is infringed 
as soon as that person feels that their privacy has been infringed. Much 
like you are insulting someone if they feel insulted by what you say. It 
is not something that can be judged objectively.

You can only, for purposes of lawmaking, set certain limits to which 
people have to endure infringement of their privacy (e.g. you may feel 
your privacy infringed by people walking down the road and looking at 
your house but that doesn't mean you can sue them). But that doesn't 
mean that by definition looking at other people's houses does not 
infringe their privacy. It is not something you can argue away with logic.

Bye
Frederik
