[history]
Barbra Streisand is suing an aerial photographer and his associates for $50 million, claiming pictures they provide to others of her Malibu home and property violates her right to privacy.
Photographer Kenneth Adelman, 39, of Watsonville; his Web hosting service, Level 42; and Pictopia, a photo agency that disseminates his work, were named in the suit. It was filed May 20 in Los Angeles Superior Court and alleges five counts of privacy intrusion, including violation of the state's anti-paparazzi act.

Babs is very, very paranoid, probably psychotic. Does she repeat herself a lot? ;^)

This is a misuse of the legal system by a corrupt lawyer. This is an obvious illigitimate case. Babs hopes to bankrupt the popular little public service not-for-profit environmentalist website (one of the rare good guys it seems) by causing massive legal fees to defend itself.
In most of the rest of the civilized world, there is "Loser Pays," where Babs would pay for the legal costs of the little website once she loses, as she inevitably will.
Loser Pays (with exceptions of course) would be a part of the vast number of reforms needed to bring justice to the evil shyster industry.

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:

"This will cost the little website dearly, in legal costs (the real issue here)."
So, where is the ACLU anyway?

"This will cost the little website dearly, in legal costs (the real issue here)." So, where is the ACLU anyway? The ACLU is the sworn enemy of the American people and their democracy. The ACLU will only defend those seeking to destroy the US.

N34 00.65 W118 47.24 I know this can be loaded into a website with satellite photos of this location. BraBra can have a whole new lawsuit with NASA. Sic 'em, BraBra.

Streisand is one of the most revolting two-faced people on the face of the planet. If Ms. Streisand really has another face, why doesn't she wear it?
Anything would be better than the one she usually has on.

Try www.californiacoastline.org. Clicking on Click here to see the photograph she is complaining about brings up a HUGE photo of some house right on the edge of the cliff. Would you mind posting that one?

She is a mega star-get over it!!! She whines like the leftist liberal democrats. If she don't like pics of her heiness home being taken then she can relinquish her star status and move to a trailor or out of country.

And where does the presumably endless supply of sewage from Babs drain into?? Obviously it drains into the ocean.I dunno. By some of the aerial shots, Point Dume appears to be a thriving neighborhood - for the wealthy. They all can't dump into the Pacific - can they?
