From their TOS:

Quote:
Furthermore; we do not have a contractual obligation nor moral or ethically responsibility or the technical means to:
- verify the identity of persons who register as Members or use our Services; or
- to verify or monitor Member Content (although we do reserve the right to monitor if we think it appropriate).

As a Member you are advised not to assume that any Member Content is accurate. A person may not be who he or she claims to be. You should at all times exercise the same caution you would normally when you meet people. We cannot be liable for false or misleading statements by Members.
So a user of the site can't really claim they were mislead, because they agreed to this TOS when signing up (and people DO upload these themselves, so it's not nessesarily Match.com doing it), and they would be protected by DMCA/EUCD for users uploading copyrighted images. I am confused as to what exactly are your lawyers intending to argue?

I could see them argueing paris hilton images or something, but with all respect melissa midwest is not a super famous entity. I have worked in porn for years and i wouldn't recognize her...
