Out of curiosity - can anyone weigh in on whether what she's doing is illegal with regard to copyright?



Violates copyright, but the PR hit to Google would be substantial (tech company sues over street view photos posted by challenged individual using it as therapy).

Google owns the Street View data, so they’re under no legal obligation to pursue as they would if it was third party data they license.

Would be cheaper to bring the person on as a Google Maps evangelist.
