copyright and celebrities' photos

Actually, copyright has been mentioned. Legally, the photographer owns the copyright to the photos so technically he could mount a case (excuse the pun), but it seems very unlikely he is going to.

There was a story about the copyright implications in the SCMP on Saturday. I think it's obvious that this whole saga has been botched up right from the start, because the police arrested and charged someone before sending the offending photos to the Obscene Articles Tribunal for classification. Then they locked him up without giving him bail and now, two weeks later, they deemed the photos indecent but not obscene. I guess everyone is fascinated by this case as it involves local celebrities. I personally don't know any of them and would not recognise them if I saw them in the street, so I have no interest in it. I suppose if it involved Brad Pitt, though, then maybe I might be tempted to take a look. Some people have even said that they think it was the person who took the photos who deliberately leaked them for publicity. It just goes to show, be careful when you're taking photographs and loading them onto your computer.

I agree entirely with your comments, omaharrison. I do think the moron of the year knew exactly what he was doing, though. It's obvious that he likes videoing himself, and I'm not going to pass judgment on that, that's his prerogative, but he must have had lots and lots of photos and videos involving many partners - after all - he is a "famous" Canto-pop star - so how come the only pictures which have surfaced have been the ones with him and other "famous" stars?
