Steffi Graf Wins Case Vs. Microsoft 461
scaramush writes: "The AP is reporting that Steffi Graf has won her lawsuit against Microsoft for hosting nude doctored photos of her. Although Microsoft had removed the images when they appeared in June, MS declined to sign a formal agreement that they would not appear again. This is the second loss for MS in this case. Scary precedent."

You'd better fix that before the spelling police come out of hiding.

Ask any Sysadmin: the real problem in Microsoft's game is that they're really crappy servers.
MAKE MONEY FAST (Score:5, Funny)
1. Find nudie pics on the internet. If you fail this, kill yourself immediately.
2. Put pictures of your own head on the naked bodies.
3. From an internet cafe, create an account with a fake name on Microsoft Germanies photo sharing/whatever site. Upload the pictures to this site.
4. Sue Microsoft Germany for posting fake nude images of you on the net. Tell them to sign a formal agreement that they will not appear again. If they won't, you get money. If they do sign, post the images again and sue them for breach of contact, and get money.
5. Repeat until rich.
Quick - everyone upload some more to msn. (Score:1, Funny)
This would have the following effects:
1) Steffi would wish that she'd never have started down that legal road.
2) Microsoft would shit a few kittens.
3) The arising publicity would help to ensure that free speech is protected in the long run.
4) We'd all have a laugh at both Steffi's and Micro$oft's expense.

The Chewbacca Defense (Score:2, Funny)
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk who carried a gun and ran from the mob. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it. That does not make sense. Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor with a bunch of two-foot-tall Ewoks. That does not make sense.
But more important, you have to ask yourself what does this have to do with this case. Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. It does not make sense. Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a poor, victimized woman and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and Gentlemen I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense.
And so you have to remember when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No. Ladies and Gentlemen of this supposed jury it does not make sense. If Chewbacca lives on Endor you must award my client lots of money.
I know it seems wrong. But ladies and gentlemen this is Chewbacca. Now think about that for one minute. That does not make sense. Why am I talking about Chewbacca when a woman's dignity is on the line? Why? I'll tell you why. I don't know. It doesn't make sense. If Chewbacca does not make sense you must find in our favor. Here look at the monkey , look at the silly monkey.
The defense rests.

You mean that in the lawsuit sense, right? Not the "nude pictures of Steffi Graf" sense?
