(OK, I lie. I don't even have a sister-in-law. That's just a random house in Irvine.)
And police and news helicopters have been flying around for many years. I have two mildy amusing stories about surveillance choppers circling me and my friends.
People have been attaching cameras to model rockets, model airplanes, model helicopters, kites, and balloons for decades. Model blimps, dirigibles and Zeppelins? Have I forgotten anything? Probably somebody has attached one to the payload of a home-made catapult at some point.
Probably on day 2 after the first successful launch.

"I never allow myself to become discouraged under any circumstances. I recall that after we had conducted thousands of experiments on a certain project without solving the problem, one of my associates, after we had conducted the crowning experiment and it had proved a failure, expressed discouragement and disgust over our having failed 'to find out anything.' I cheerily assured him that we had learned something. For we had learned for a certainty that the thing couldn't be done that way, and that we would have to try some other way. We sometimes learn a lot from our failures if we have put into the effort the best thought and work we are capable of." - Thomas A. Edison, 1921

This story is all over the place. /., CNet, Gizmodo, Engadget, Yahoo!, here of course, Ars, El Reg, The Next Web, gigaom, OSNews, hacker news, techmeme, digital trends, lifehacker, wired news, techcrunch, neowin, TUAW... several of them have multiple articles, and that's just what I see in a single snapshot of Freshnews.
"I think by keeping a lot of code on their servers they actually managed to reduce piracy to the minimum. Until some working cracked servers are developed, they're in the pirate-free waters."
You'll be able to play the solo version offline as soon as somebody hacks the code. Despite what they're saying, I suspect they don't actually do a lot of processing on their servers.
I think the delay is due to the fact that the hackers are having trouble reverse-engineering the code, because they can't get online to profile it. :)

How about this neighborhood's expectation of privacy?
Or me making sure the neighborhood kids were out of the line of fire while they watched me shoot bow from over the fence.
Your back yard may not be considered a public place, but there is still a limited expectation of privacy.
