Make it illegal to publish photos of nudity without consent...simples

[trueblue]

So a tourist takes a general photo of Brighton beach and puts it on their Facebook page. In that photo, there are some topless sunbathers. The tourist would now face prosecution. Doesn't seem that straightforward a law to me.

it is illegal.

anyone against this, you wouldnt mind if i sat in your garden, took some snaps and published the pictures? what if i did the same of your family, no problems with that right?

put simply its an invasion of privacy, that is what is illegal.

I don't think there would be many magazines queuing up for that exclusive. Although having said that my other half has at least got a decent rack unlike Kate with her fried eggs.

Police have opened criminal investigation in france now

Where's the need for a law? The royals concerned will sue the magazine, probably win, and that'll be the end of it. Nobody has ACTUALLY been harmed by this, have they?

I honestly couldn't give a toss if the Duchess of Cambridge (not Cornwall, as the BBC 5Live newsman accidentally suggested yesterday ) has her cans out, and I'm sure most people are the same. The only ones creating a fuss are the British media, and we all know how hypocritical they are. They only raise the issue to flog more newspapers.

The other hypocritical element is that most of them quite regularly publish photos of other famous women topless on holiday somewhere. Be it Cheryl Cole, Tulisa, one of the tedious Kardashians, or Fern bloody Brittain, they don't seem to share the same moral scruples when it's not a member of the Royal Family. So why does Prince William's missus warrant any greater protection.

It's the most boring news story of the week after the Terry-Ferdinand handshake fiasco. Who cares, move on.

PS even if we had a privacy law here it wouldn't have made any difference, surely, as the photos were taken and published in France.

Spot on. Incidentally, does anyone actually KNOW whether Kate Middleton is particularly peeved by this, or is it other people at the Palace being offended on her behalf? Surely if she was that concerned about it, she wouldn't have got her underwhelming baps out in a foreign country in the first place. Surely she wouldn't have been thick enough to assume the French (or Irish) press would be as toadying as our own towards them?

Ive not seen the pictures. How does a royal breast compare to a commoners breast?

Will has best tits than kate

If permission was needed from the girl think of all those Internet sites where jilted boyfriends send pictures and films of their ex partners doing unmentionable things to themselves just to get their own back. They would fold....... I wish people would think before they post.

cant see how they can say she could be seen from the public road

I agree 100%.All this fuss has created more interest in the pictures than if they had been ignored.
Personally,I don't give a toss about seeing what are probably a pair of small boobs on a skinny girl,princess or not!

Prince William should really be looking at his security, he should think himself lucky it was a photographer and not some nutty sniper.
If a photographer can find where they are so can a terrorist group.

And a couple of days later, the sun is publishing pictures of Selma Blair, from lurking paparazzi, where she is carrying her baby, and the baby has pushed her shirt aside. Didn't take long, did it?

 

[Seagull on the wing]
