yeah, wow, that was a while ago too. about three years ago the governator of california signed a bill that allows the legal action against obtaining of photos and recordings in an illegal fashion (i think johannson was part of that and probably, a catalyst). there are only a small number of states in the US that have things of the sort in place. yet, the prevailing 'interest' of hungry masses who, imo are just being brainwashed by media outlets, condone the abhorrent behaviour or sit idly by and consume them through various ways. those awful 'entertainment news' programmes, tmz, inside outside access of tofurkey... you know, i don't give a shit what they had for lunch on thursday with whoever it was they sat at a table with. for me the bottom line is: do you entertain me and do i like it when you do? if the answer is yes then it should stay in that arena. just be pretty and intriguing on my screen. that's all i need from you.

<http://www.paparazzi-reform.org/>paparazzi-reform.org has an interesting approach but i'm sure there are other organisations out there advocating for the privacy of human beings who just so happen to have a job everyone knows about.
