Who has a right to privacy?

In recent days two young women have received an enormous amount of exposure in magazines and newspapers, though for very different reasons and in very diverse sets of circumstances.

The two women are former Miss World Rosanna Davison and the Duchess of Cambridge, better known as Kate Middleton.

Davison freely chose to be photographed topless for the German edition of Playboy. The availability of those photos was never going to be limited to a German audience. News, especially “celebrity” news, knows no boundaries, and certainly not in today’s hi-tech world.
