Rare Coin Dealer Sues Google for Address Mix-Up

What would you do if you were a rare coin dealer and Google kept listing your home address (instead of your business) even after you’ve sent several letters asking them to stop and hired an attorney? I guess you’d do what this guy did and finally file a lawsuit.

Google "publicly disclosed that the plaintiff’s family home is where rare coins can be found, and conveniently provided a map," wrote Harris, who is acting as his own attorney. "A reasonable person who is in the rare coin business would find this objectionable and highly offensive," he added, "even if the person did not have a family."
