The home of Barbra Streisand, an American singer and actress, in Malibu, California. In 2003 her attempts to suppress this photograph, taken for the California Coastal Records Project, led to the unintended consequence of publicizing the photograph much more widely; before Streisand filed her lawsuit, the image had been downloaded only six times (twice by Streisand's lawyers), whereas in the month after the lawsuit afterwards more than 420,000 people visited the site. The term "Streisand effect" evolved from the controversy and has been used to describe subsequent cases of the phenomenon.Photograph: Kenneth and Gabrielle Adelman
