German Court Rules In Favor Of Google Street View

Google has had a multi-faceted response to its ''Google Street View'' images, which allow a user to navigate through cities via the Internet.

In the latest legal news for ''Google Street View,'' a German court has ruled in favor of the search engine giant's right to post the images, which opposes a German woman's lawsuit against the company, citing privacy rights.

The plaintiff sued, however, over the potential for a privacy breach, not over an actual issue.

Google made its ''Google Street View'' available to Germany in the summer of 2010 after negotiating the terms with the German authorities.
