> the firm presumably wasn't thrilled about having its attorneys' home purchases broadcast

This actually makes sense. Call me eccentric, but I wouldn't want my real estate purchases to be put on a high-traffic website with a link to my resume. Sure, the information is there and it is public, but that web startup is really pushing it. At the very least they could've been a bit more flexibile when asked to remove the link, which is a reasonable request given the circumstances.

Then don't buy a house?

I don't really see the problem here. Who cares what house you own?


That's the point of the business. Like Keiser Soze, they're willing to go further than their competition, in this case by reporting stories that other people won't due to ickiness.

The info is out there, they're just publicizing it to an apparently very interested audience.
