SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A California-based pornographer said Monday it has sued Google Inc., alleging that its Internet search engines are illegally allowing people to view hijacked versions of its nude photos and to access its Web site with stolen passwords.
Perfect 10 said in a lawsuit filed Friday in a Los Angeles federal court that Google's image search engine gives users illegal access to photos it owns and produced, violating copyrights and harming its ability to profit from the distribution of the photos via its magazine and Web site.
Further, a Google Web search for "perfect10.com passwords" serves up a list of usernames and passwords that would enable searchers to access Perfect 10's Web site and bypass its $25.50 monthly membership fee.
