Court Rules Against Woman Who Didn't Like Search Results
The Seventh Circuit Court has ruled that Beverly Stayart can't sue Yahoo! because she did not like what she saw on the results page after searching for her name. Stayart claimed that her "internet presence" was damaged by Yahoo! because results for a search of her name showed listings which included pharmaceuticals and adult oriented websites. The court disagreed. From the article: "Stayart had sued under Section 43(a) of the federal Lanham Act, which prohibits false advertising, false implications of endorsement, and so on. Her problem was that a Lanham Act claim requires a showing that the plaintiff has a 'commercial interest' to protect, and Stayart did not have a commercial interest in her own name."
How many of you just went to google images and turned safe search off and searched for this womans name?
I think the answer will illustrate just how bad an idea this was for her.
Turns out it was just me. How did they know I like drugs and sex?

Let the Streisand Effect begin. :S
...posting images associated with her name that are truly offensive. It would actually be a good object lesson in why not to file stupid lawsuits like this.
Well, I just typed "Anonymous Coward" into Google. Not a single page about SEO. Seems your SEO abilities are not that good. ;-)
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
Yes, I've noticed the same. overall, she won. Yahoo'ing for her (weird word) doesn't turn up anything juicy, just this lawsuit. Damn, the Seventh Circuit Court just got USED!
Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.

Cases like this are good in a way.
Think about it: in 2000 years, long after the American Empire collapses to the Canadian Hordes, scholars will look back at the US legal code and declare it to be the more comprehensive in existence, covering every conceivable eventuality, no matter how brain-dead.
The English word fart is one of the oldest words in the English vocabulary.
The hundreds of news stories about this trial seem to have swamped the juicy links and made them vanish.
Is this an 'anti-Streisand' effect?
No, this is the "Stayart Effect" ®
Set your phasers on "funky"!
seriously, if she googles herself too much she might end up with a huge, distended googhole.
That's my real name, and I have the EXACT same problem.
Mistress Beverly "whiplash" Stayart should sue Google/Yahoo because first SERP is a bunch of Lawyers diminishing her reputation and frightening away clients
Searching "Beverly Stayart" was my main starting point every time I want to wank off. Now the porn is all replaced with articles about her stupid case. Time to find a new search. Maybe "Christine O'Donnell?"
