Steffi Graf Wins Case Vs. Microsoft

scaramush writes: "The AP is reporting that Steffi Graf has won her lawsuit against Microsoft for hosting nude doctored photos of her. Although Microsoft had removed the images when they appeared in June, MS declined to sign a formal agreement that they would not appear again. This is the second loss for MS in this case. Scary precedent."

    My mom says that if you want to be a lesbian you have to learn how to eat carpet.

      She's married to Andre Agassi.

      I wouldn't mind watching her having hot, lesbian sex with Kournikova, though.

    This is an unfair lawsuit, just like the antitrust lawsuit..

    Slashdot, here to protect all freedoms besides the freedom to choose Windows.

    Not to flog the dead horse, but it's more evidence of ways in which the private sector is quite happy to cramp civil liberties for its own purposes, using civil law.

    I am going to flame myself and note that this case demonstrates nothing of the kind. My bad, my bad.

    Not to point out the obvious, but this is in Germany. There are plenty of precedents in the U.S. to prevent this sort of thing.

    There is no King of England. Furthermore, the waco-like "we need gunz cuz the government has gunz" rhetoric is outdated and stupid.

    No, there is a President of the United States.

    Force is violence. The supreme authority from which all other authority is derived. Unless the common man has the ability to use force, he is a slave to a government. He can be subjected to whatever that government wishes, because he can't respond with physical force.

    Do some research on Germany in WWII and the Nazi rise to power shortly before. You might make yourself smarter.

    When a gun is manufactured today it's sole intention is to kill. [...] Therefore gun manufacturers are just as guilty for murders as Napster is for music piracy.

    No. The intended use of firearms is to *kill* people, not to *murder* people.

    You can use Napster to copy any sort of music, but the intended purpose was to facilitate copyright violations; you can use guns to carry out a wide variety of killings, but the intended purpose is not to murder people.
