Have you read the entirety of the agreement?

And as I pointed out, that's between IMDB and PrivateEye.com, and she has no legal standing in that issue. She's not
allowed to sue them for that specific act.

I don't either. But I'm not going to sympathize (and neither, apparently, is at least one jury) when they get caught at it.

You, too, have no standing in that matter whatsoever. If they did so in violation of their merchant agreement, that's between them and their merchant service. If they did so as allowed in their merchant agreement, no violations have occured.
You are not part of that equation.
She sued over privacy regarding information that isn't private. And lost.
If you don't like it, don't use their web site.
