CNN story [cnn.com]
-- "An operator of a commercial Internet Web site or online service that makes a virtual globe browser available to members of the public shall not provide aerial or satellite photographs or imagery of a building or facility in this state that is identified on the Internet Web site by the operator as a school or place of worship, or a government or medical building or facility, unless those photographs or images have been blurred.

The way the bill is currently written, if you have a web site that uses Google Maps, and Google doesn't blur the image of a church 2,000 miles away from you, YOU could also be liable for $250,000/day!

To keep this non-political, I'll reserve my comments about CA lawmakers...
