Does some one have a recent unretouched photo of Citizen Streisand? Scary stuff from a mega-mega hypocrite.

And from the website of California Coastal Records Project Web site, www.californiacoastline.org.

Barbra Streisand Sues to Suppress Free Speach Protection for Widely Acclaimed Website

Barbra Streisand, known for espousing pro-environmental views and criticizing those who don't, has sued the California Coastal Records Project, a landmark photographic database of over 12,000 frames of the California coast shot since 2002, asserting that the inclusion of a single frame that includes her blufftop Malibu estate invades her privacy, violates the "anti-paparazzi" statute, seeks to profit from her name, and threatens her security. Other defendants in the case are the Project's Internet Service Provider, Layer42.NET, and Pictopia.COM, who provides finished prints of the photographs.

Sorry, Barb. No one in his right mind wants to see you (or your property) with your (or its) clothes off.

Try filing in Belgium.

Streisand files $50 million lawsuit over aerial photos because, dispite the plane being at 15,000 feet, they couldn't get all of her in the frame.

Well, if she was aiming to mitigate the harm this website is allegedly causing her, Ms. Streisand's lawsuit is likely to do just the opposite.

Thanks to all the media attention, and the resulting widespread publication of the website address in question, she just propelled an obscure website that probably saw little traffic from the general public into a site that's probably going to be in the top 10 in this week's hit counts.

This might actually be an interesting case. It involves personal intellectual property. It has always both annoyed and alarmed me that all manner of entities keep "dossiers" on us as individuals, without expressed permission. Doesn't that info belong, first and only, to us as individuals? We all know women who, shortly after they find they are pregnant, suddenly start receiving diaper advertisements in the mail. Spooky. Some computer, somewhere, has huge files on us.

This info is retrievable as evidence in court, BTW. If you are party in a lawsuit, your opponents can head down to the local merchant (where you have one of those discount cards you keep on your keychain) and subpoena all your buying habits. Sometimes this turns up interesting and embarrassing things...

Cmon Barbra, unless your house was built illegally there will be plans of it and the grounds on file with the local building department. You can pay to retrieve those records.

"I think there's a free speech issue here," he said. "The photographs were taken in a public place where she doesn't have a reasonable expectation of privacy."

free speech issue? Nah.
public place? Airspace is owned by fedgov, it is public, and private citizens are allowed by permission.
privacy? Implicit in the Constitution, but rapidly becoming a historical curiosity.

Both BS and Adelman inhabit worlds of their own imagination. Adelman should win, but shouldn't have been attacked by BS in the first place. Countersuit.

Maybe she should also sue her Democratic Governor, who has used taxpayer money to post aerial photos of the entire state on the UC Davis website. How about the private satellite companies who sell high resolution photos of any area on earth you would want.

The web site is: http://casil.ucdavis.edu/casil/usgs.gov/doqq/34118/

The particular file is: o34118a7se.tif
