Jul 2014

Which is that an attempt to hide or remove something often has the unintended consequence of publicizing it. It comes from attempts by Barbara Streisand to suppress a photograph of her house in Malibu from a collection of over 10 thousand photos of the California coast, culminating in a lawsuit against the photographer, Kenneth Adelman.

According to this Wikipedia article, "Image 3850" had been downloaded from Adelman's website only six times; two of those downloads were by Streisand's attorneys. As a result of the case, public knowledge of the picture increased substantially; more than 420,000 people visited the site over the following month.
