Streisand in privacy court battle

Barbra Streisand has filed a lawsuit against an amateur photographer, claiming he is violating her privacy by displaying a picture of her clifftop Malibu estate on a website designed to document erosion along California’s coastline.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeks millions of dollars in damages and asks retired software engineer Kenneth Adelman to remove the image of Streisand’s mansion from the 12,000 photos he has posted on his website.
