Google Street View Case Dismissed–Boring v. Google

Boring v. Google, Inc., 2:08-cv-00694-ARH (W.D. Pa. Feb. 17, 2009)
You may recall the Boring case from last Spring. A Pennsylvania couple sued because Google’s camera car drove up their private driveway and the resulting pictures were posted to Google’s Street View. I thought the whole lawsuit was such a silly publicity stunt that I didn’t think it was blog-worthy at the time. Apparently I’m not the only person who wasn’t impressed with the suit, because the court didn’t give the plaintiffs any benefit of the doubt and dismissed the lawsuit handily (without leave to amend).
Some highlights from the discussion:
