Oregon Woman Sues Yahoo for $3 Million
bigtallmofo writes "After notifying Yahoo that two member profiles about her were not authorized, Cecilia Barnes of Oregon is suing Yahoo for $3 million for failing to take down the profiles in a timely manner. The profiles allegedly set up by her ex-boyfriend contained nude photos of her along with her email address and work phone number. (Note: The member profiles have since been taken down by Yahoo)."
Enter somebody's name, find all known nude photographs of that person. Needn't even be celebrities.

If he'd posted them there, they would still be circulating. See, a distributed, redundant architecture protects you from a single point of failure.

Good thing too, or else I'd no longer have any use for this interweb thing.
He doesn't have three million dollars.

Lacking <sarcasm> tags,
I'm sure that this woman is not the first person who has had an ex-boyfriend/husband/lover post nude pictures of them on the net.
Any examples?

If my ex-girlfriend put pictures on the web and used chat rooms to get women to show up at my workplace demanding sex I think $3million would be about right. I have no idea how I'd come up with the $3million though.

Nothing comes up.
WAIT! Let me rephrase that!

damn.
Have you read the moderator guidelines? Well, have you, PUNK? (and I want a Karma: Gnarly option)
You make nude photos of yourself then sorry, if they get posted somewhere its only your own fault and nobody else. Hopefully that will be listened to when this goes to court. Nobody forced her to take naked photos, so it goes to show what kind of person yahoo is dealing with. No scruples, and no right to sue.
Yeah. As soon as your clothes come off you're an evil dirty bad person and you deserve anything that happens to you. If pictures get posted without your permission it's your fault for being a naked dirty birdy and you have to "take personal responsibility" for having a naked body. Ewwww!
You forgot to mention that the nude photos were taken through her clothing using backscatter X-ray machines at the airport.

She should have invoked the DMCA to have them removed.
Exactly.
GF: "We'll have to stay apart for at least a year or so, until things cool down...I'll, err, meet you at...the Starbucks in the Mall of America on January 3, 2007...yeah, that's it."
BF: "I'll miss y..."
GF: "...just get the damn camera."
Authority questions you. Return the favor.
"Caressed"? What kind of man are you? Next you'll be talking about "foreplay"!
Oh hell naw.

GREAT.....now just another reason it gets harder and harder to get your girlfriend to let you take nekkid shots of her....
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
Heck, if she'd posted this to /. in the first place, we could have taken down Yahoo all by ourselves.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
your grandmother??... holy crap.
