Ugh, people like this disgust me. Not only is she a litigious moron, but she’s just guaranteed that everyone who hears about this lawsuit is going to assume she was renting porn, whether it’s true or not.

The lawsuit is a bit much but she’s probably trying to simply make an example of what she thinks is crossing the line as too many sites are doing this these days. We say good for her?

I am very interested to know the update of this case.

I can see her point. She probably just likes to have some privacy – I’m not sure if I’d want my friends knowing everything I do all the time, but I wouldn’t sue over it.

The lawsuit is a little much…maybe just figure out how to turn it off.

Privacy aside, it seems like a good way to advertise.

Weird, I wonder what she rented that was so dirty or embarrassing?

I can’t say I would start a law suit unless the breach of privacy caused some real damage to my reputation (a possiblility given my rental habits – lol).

Isn’t it ironic that someone who complains about the loss of privacy then ends up in national news and all over the internet?

Any lawsuit from a civilian (rather than another company) that involves any big company or startup will always be frivolous. But I'd like to ask... would any of YOU have thought of filing the lawsuit. I'd say she's smart, and yes... she was probably renting some adult videos LoL Paul Baranda's last blog post..How To Apply False Eyelashes

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

frivolous lawsuit, imo. I agree with the above poster, if she didn't want her information shared, she should have disabled the beacon! Mark T.'s last blog post..Nine steps to buying a home

Ridiculous, if she didn’t want her information shared, she should have disabled beacon. The big question though is why she wanted to hide what videos she rented/bought. She has a right to her own privacy and all, but what does it matter if your friends know what movies you rented? (unless she rented some XXX) ^_^
