Great, now google the lawsuit instead of just the pictures. When you read it, you'll see he hired a rep to hire an attorney to sue to have the images removed and his reasons for doing (it's pornography when two men kiss, etc) are clearly stated and his signature accompanies the documents.

It would be easier if you just gave me the source. My googling has only turned up threats to sue, no actual lawsuit.

SA

Nevermind, it's been removed from all search engine results as part of the settlement. Their is a notice about it on the results pages.

The takedown request was made by the photographer...how do you know it was part of the settlement?

This is all I've been able to find, which is what leads me to believe there was no actual lawsuit:

Now for those unfamiliar with the controversy here it is, in his early years Colton posed for a photo-shoot in the now-defunct XY magazine. These pictures saw him kissing boys in a Jacuzzi and posing shirtless in a locker room, relatively tame stuff if you ask me. Well since Colton Haynesis now making it big on MTV’s new series Teen Wolf, the powers that be, seem to pulling out all the big guns with the purpose to “de-gay” his internet presence, by threatening to sue any blogger that runs pictures from the said shoot.

THEQIT.com is just one of the numerous blogs that has been hit with a threatening cease desist letter from Colton Haynes legal representative Bryan J. Freedman stating the pictures were “sordid, grossly perverted, and can only appeal to those with the most prurient of interests. That you would publicize such content is disturbing. Your election to continue doing so is criminal. The public disclosure of, and wrongful intrusion into one’s private activities, constitutes an invasion of privacy and is actionable in most jurisdictions, including California”

Because there was a lot posted at the time it was happening, including by legitimate news agencies. I know some blog owners have gotten cease and desist notices for having posted either the pictures or about the story, but it looks like the news agencies did too because Reuters and AP don't have anything on it anymore.
