Considering that we are a nation obsessed with CCTV and most people appear on it dozens if not hundreds of times per day (over 300 times a day in London), I fail to understand the privacy obsession. Sure CCTV footage is not released to anyone, but I could get hold of it if I really wanted. Just as I could look at their village if for some horrible reason I wanted. But its unlikely.
Similarly, those people complaining are many of the people who use google everyday. If you don't want them to collect the information on you, dont use their services. Google only has the resources to do street view because collectuvely we use their services and they can make ad money.
I can hardly imagine burglars looking up weak chinks in the armour on google earth before travelling to homes for burglaries. It would be much easier to walk down the street surely...
