I have completely forgotten about what exactly Streisand was trying to hide. I'm not sure I've ever seen the actual media she was embarrassed about.

    She was trying to have a picture of her house removed from a website. Link to wiki that contains the picture.

    I find it hilarious that I know what her house looks like but don't know a single one of her songs. Given that she wanted to hide the former and as an artist, probably wanted everyone to be exposed to the latter.

    This may be generational. There is not likely to be much intersection between the group of people who listened to Streisand and those who listen to Swift.

    Two years later, Masnick coined the name when writing about Marco Beach Ocean Resort's takedown notice to urinal.net (a site dedicated to photographs of urinals) over its use of the resort's name.

    I guess that exists

    It's interesting to read that, now that we have more of a bird's eye view of the whole situation. Streisand claims she never even wanted the image taken down, she just wanted her name removed from the image.

    It's pretty funny in retrospect, if removing her name was her goal, she probably could have made it happen if instead of filing a lawsuit, she just called the webmaster for that site and asked nicely.
