Porn Site Sues Google Over Linked Images
Joel from Sydney writes "According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Google is being sued for copyright infringement by a Los Angeles-based porn site. The complaint revolves around Google's Image Search, which allegedly displays copyrighted pictures and links to unauthorised mirrors. The complaint also alleges that Google Search is providing 'links to password hacking sites that provide ways to gain illegal access to [the complainant's] website.' Where will it all end?

Reader Nath adds "Interesting that there's no Thank You from the site for the traffic that Google sends its way due to search hits; are these companies forgetting the important role that search engines play in their business?"
If I remember correctly, their porno was no good anyway.

This will get thrown out of court unless Perfect 10 sends a few select 18-22 yr old "representitives" to the presiding Judge's house to (insert one or more of the following: repair his cable/car, clean his pool, wash his car, apply for a job, try to get a raise at a current job, be taught sex ed and have to stay after class, get lost and require directions, have no way of re-paying him/her, etc...)
Flood them with /.'ers that will suck down all there bandwidth viewing the freebies, while never buying anything!
Yes! The power of Slashdot!
I would rather be ashes than dust!
So an American company is trying to make money by suing another American company. What's new?
I've previously had Goatse and Tubgirl inflicted upon my eyes, but when I saw your post, I thought "Lemonparty? What the hell is that?"
Now I know. But that was your idea all along, wasn't it? Bastard!
Think of the headlines: Honest Porn Merchant Degenerates into Sleazy Litigator.
I don't remember seeing any law that says judges CAN'T slap plaintiffs and lawyers.
