I'm Canadian, but I'm of the same opinion as you guys(Americans) unless I'm holding up my ATM Card while entering my pin number or something what's wrong with seeing yourself on Google Streetview.. who knows perhaps a new spinoff marketing company might be created..lol picture it, someone chasing the MS live recorder with a Y Combinator T-shirt on. priceless.

I've seen the MS Live recording car around Burlington MA. Every time I drive by it, I roll down my windows and give it a thumbs up with a big smile. <p>I've noted the locations, and can't wait to see myself grinning like a fool :)

Google streetview may be illegal... in Canada.<p>It's perfectly legal in the US.

as for the justin.tv thing.. you can watch justin.tv, but if they ever decided to come up to Canada and film an episode, etc. pretty much the only thing you'd see was alot of blurred out faces and license plates. it's like watching American "cops" then watching Canadian "To serve and protect" it doesn't compare.<p>

You know how us Canadians are. If something affects one person negatively, it can't be allowed.

So I guess justin.tv is illegal north of the border too.
