Barbra Streisand Pays Legal Fees

Photographer (and ex-dot.com exec) Ken Adleman has a nifty project: California Coastline. He and his wife (helicopter pilot) fly up the California Coast with a digital camera, laptop and GPS unit and take a continuous series of photos. They have done this several times and by so doing, have built up a nice historical record of erosion and illegal development. One person objected... Barbara Streisand called Ken's photo an invasion of privacy and sued him for $50 million. December of last year, the Judge threw this suit out and ordered Ms. Streisand to pay Ken's legal fees. She finally coughed up the check for $155,567.04 The whole mess is here for all to see She is all about free speech and defending people's rights until it directly affects her and then she hides behind a wall of lawyers... Hypocrite. Hat tip to Richard Bennett at Mossbacks Progress
