Google Maps Street View is "Like Peeping"

There is something extremely ironic about Mary Kalin-Casey, who is in the news because she objects to Google Map's new Street View service, agreeing to be photographed by the NY Times. She is quoted in the article as saying that she "doesn't ... want a shot of [her] sofa on Google." An yet, her sofa is clearly visible in the background of the photo that accompanies the NY Times article. Does she not realize that Google will archive the Times article. Also, the Times' photo is much more revealing than the Street View image.
