It's hardly my area of expertise, but that's always been my understanding. Where Google may really go wrong in posting people's faces is in it being another knock against them on the privacy front.

I think Google is just BEGGING for lawsuits in a lot of different areas but people always seem to stick to the one that IMO is the least likely to succeed.

I don't think it would stand a chance, but would at least shine a big spotlight on Google and perhaps force them to blur faces. @Adrian – a can of worms indeed.

If members of the public can sue Google for displaying their pictures, what about celebs who get plastered all over magazines? Or magazines where people send in their own pics with random people in them? Would it be different if Yahoo maps linked up to Flickr geotagged images? (they might already for all I know). I took some pictures down at the beach on Sunday, there were lots of other people in them as it was a very busy day. If I upload them to Flickr, could those people sue me/Flickr? Is it different if I geotag them and they appear on a map? Quite a can of worms that could be opened....
