***Streisand Goes Coastal Over Web Photo Effort
– [SFGate]

The more than 12,000 images they have posted on http://www.californiacoastline.org are not the first to document California’s Pacific boundary. But the digital technology, free access and user-friendly Web site design are unprecedented.

In addition to scenes of spectacular loveliness, the project also documents illegal seawalls, sewage outflows, erosion and masses of new development.

But not everyone appreciated their efforts.

Arguing that the photograph violated her privacy, [Barbara] Streisand filed a $50 million lawsuit in May demanding that the photo including her house be removed from the site, along with the caption reading “Streisand Estate, Malibu.”
