Aaron and Christine Boring, the couple who filed a lawsuit against Google, claiming that the Street View service violated their privacy by publishing a photo of their house, have ended with empty hands and even more publicity.

The couple claimed that the road leading to their house was clearly marked as private, and that Google's Street View vehicle has disregarded the sign and invaded their privacy. They sought the images of their house taken off Street View, and over $25,000 in damages. The U.S. District Court for Western Pennsylvania, however, has dismissed the lawsuit, claiming that the Borings "failed to state a claim under any count."

Google's view on the matter is that, unfortunately, "complete privacy does not exist" due to satellite imagery which doesn't really care about "private road" signs. They do, however, remove images from the service if you ask them nicely.
