A couple who sued Google over Street View photos of their Pennsylvania home have triumphed on charges of trespassing, but they will only walk away with one dollar.

A Pennsylvania district court this week awarded Aaron and Christine Boring damages of $1 on the trespassing charges, which Google has agreed to pay.

The Boring family sued Google in 2008 for privacy, trespassing, negligence, and unjust enrichment after photographs of their home showed up on Street View. A Pennsylvania district judge dismissed the case in February 2009 because, she said, the Borings had failed to prove that the images had caused them any real distress. The Borings filed an appeal, and in February 2010, the appeals court said the couple could pursue their trespassing claim.

They have now prevailed on that charge, but is the $1 settlement worth the effort?

The court acknowledged as much when it allowed the trespassing case to proceed.

"Of course, it may well be that, when it comes to proving damages from the alleged trespass, the Borings are left to collect one dollar and whatever sense of vindication that may bring," the court said earlier this year.
