What about if someone aimed a video camera at your artwork and displayed it 
on a big TV across the other side of town?

What about if it was visible on Google maps?

IMO once you make something available to the public (ie they can just see it 
for free with no restrictions) then you can't really do much about people 
copying it.  If you want to enforce restrictions then make it impossible for 
people to see until they have agreed to your terms and conditions.  This is 
what happens when you go to watch Formula 1, even the free testing sessions 
which are "open" to the public, you still need to get a ticket and agree to 
the T&Cs before you are allowed to enter (this includes agreeing not using 
any photos or videos for commercial purposes).
