You tube will remove a video that is copyrighted, IF the owner complains.
Google street view will remove images of your posted private property, IF you complain.

As I heard a lawyer on a video news clip today say, "it's like you slap me in the face and my only recourse is to demand that you not slap me in the face". Obviously his case against google street view is going to be that they shouldnt be placed online UNTIL explicit permission is given, not the other way around (current method).

Perhaps that case will set precedent. Perhaps it wont. The point is that people are banking (and making bank) that it wont, and things will remain the same. It's one of those newfangled digital/internet legal areas.
