Re: The Foundation creates public exhibitions of new works by em

Thank you for this project. And to share some information. The privacy of Rosemary Part had been invaded. Rosemary Port is mad as heck, and she isn't going to take it any more. So, in the face of defamation and the invasion of privacy, Rosemary Port got herself a lawyer and told Google that their deal was about to go DOWN. Here's where it began – Port maintained a Blogger account, anonymously, on the Google blog network Blogger. It was called Skanks in NYC, and the tone and substance was the vicious rending of self important New York socialites, one of which, Liskula Cohen, a model, sued Google, who revealed Port's identity, which she maintains is a violation of her privacy. Perhaps Google should do some credit repair with Rosemary Port, and compensate her for treading on her privacy.
