The founder of Perfect 10, a website which specialises in “tasteful nude images”, has announced that he is suing Microsoft. Norm Zada’s convoluted claim argues that because some people illegally copy and post his images on their own sites, and because Microsoft in turn indexes and displays these images in its search results, Microsoft is infringing his copyright. As if suing Microsoft rather than the people who copied the images in the first place isn’t stupid enough, the case almost exactly mirrors Zada’s previous case against Google, which didn’t even reach court as it was ruled to have no merit.
