Spurs lawyer can’t get website to take down nude pictures
Feb 9th, 2010 by Bilal Ali
San Antonio Spurs guard George Hill made the rookie mistake of trusting some groupie who sold him out with the quickness and now the team lawyer’s having a hard time getting websites to take the pics down.
The Spurs’ lawyer fired off a letter to TheDirty.com last week, demanding the website “immediately and permanently” remove the photos showing guard George Hill’s privates … pics the genius snapped of himself using his cell phone. The Spurs want the pics down because they shine a negative light on the team’s image.
But a lawyer for TheDirty sent a letter right back, saying the site has every right to post photos of “celebrities making fools of themselves” — and taking them down won’t change the fact that Hill is a moron.
TheDirty’s lawyer also says the Spurs’ attempt to have the pics removed will only cause a “Streisand Effect” — meaning the matter will become even more publicized due to their attempt to quash it.
