This makes me angry. I am unclear from this article if your name is attached to the picture of the house in any way. With that in mind, I realize that I am probably coming from a paranoid point of view here, but feel that safety issues are being disregarded. I am a therapist who works for county Mental Health and many of my client's have been sex offenders, perpetrators of violent acts etc., and being female I have also had to deal with stalkers. I would like to prevent in all ways, unsafe clients from stumbling upon where I reside. Including the possibility that while searching for property in our town they come across a picture of a house with my car of it, which they would likely recognize from the clinic, on the web. I feel like it has often been made difficult to ensure that where I live is not made public or handed out to persons or agencies that I have not authorized. You have to pay to not be listed in the phone book. People buy your address from other businesses in the area in order to sell you crap. Even this article it states "The pamphlet tells homeowners who want their dwellings' data removed to go to Zaio's Web site, where they must provide an e-mail address to complete the process." So are they going to sell my email address to a company that will repeatedly spam me with e-mail spewing titles such as "Watch father r'ape redheaded daughter in ass"? (actual spam I received btw). While my concerns about the safety issue may err on the side of excessive, this whole thing still pisses me off.
