No, not Susan Google. You know, like in I’m gonna sue you?

And that’s what this artist lady over here in Germany tried to do (her name’s not Sue either, by the way).

Her gripe and/or argument? She got all hot and POed at Google for having the audacity to actually display in Google Bilder (Images) the very pictures she was displaying in the Internet her own damned self.

None of this Aufregung (excitement) flew with the German Federal Supreme Court, however, believe it or not. They said, in essence: If you didn’t want Google to display your pictures, you could have prevented them from doing so, which of course she could have and still can.

Damn. That’s way too much common sense for me. The Federal Supreme Court, in Germany of all places. These old codgers are behind the times with a capital B – for Bilder?
