A9's Photo Database

Ok, so A9, Amazon's web-scraper or whatever you call it, now has photos. Combined with its yellow pages feature, it allows you to do a virtual walk-through of 10 US cities, block by block. Eventually they want to cover the entire country. Amazing stuff.

It will be interesting if they can last without being sued for posting copyrighted material or pictures of individuals who might not want their image made public. Like, say for example, this guy.
