Woman loses lawsuit over "Girls Gone Wild" video.

Padriac, you are dead wrong on this area.

If you re read my post ,you will see I said 'here' meaning in Australia where it is indeed the case as far as I'm aware..


I'm confident this is the case because of an incident about a year ago: I was taking photos at the local mall.A security bloke approached me and told me I needed permission to take photographs because the mall is private property. I stopped because I did not know the law,but it did not seem right to me.

As it turns out,my best mate is a barrister. I asked him. His response was the security bloke was wrong. There is no right to privacy in Australia.There ARE laws of trespass. He could have legally asked me to leave,but had no right to stop me photographing anything or anyone.


Of course I'm aware few if any lawyers are legal polymaths, so my mate could be mistaken.(he's a senior prosecutor,the equivalent of an American ADA) ) I'll happily stand corrected on the basis of a more informed opinion on Australian law.
