without their database (i.e. georeferenced images made available through the
streetview api) you would never be able to find your house in billions of
fotos, nor know where a certain foto was taken for 99,99999% of their fotos
(which are not taken in the small world of your personal knowledge).
I am not a lawyer, and I am not sure whether streetview fotos are
protectable or not (and whether they are actually protected in the current
form they are made available), but I think that you see it in a too
simplistic way.
