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."

For a PUBLICATION such as a tabloid, what reason would they or should they be permitted to not sign such an agreement. The problem HERE is that USERS are posting the photos and Microsoft is removing them as requested.
Stefi Graf says Microsoft should promise that it will examine every photo and won't allow these pictures to be posted. This has very bad implications for user based public forums (I.E. everything must edited by the host company or it is liable for damages.
