It covers key concepts such as proportionality, breach of confidence, protected information, misuse of private information and parliamentary privilege in the age of social media. It explains the regimes that protect the anonymity of celebrities' children and shows how celebrities can use copyright, data protection and the Defamation Act 2013 as privacy remedies. The position of the Monarch and members of the Royal family in relation to privacy laws is also explored. This book offers expert advice, analysis and guidance to practitioners, academics, students, journalists and data protection stakeholders on celebrity and royal privacy, media and the law."

Download or read book Outrageous Invasions written by Robin D. Barnes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Outrageous Invasions: Celebrities' Private Lives, Media, and the Law, Professor Robin D. Barnes examines the role and nature of privacy in Western democracies. Celebrities are routinely subjected to stalking, harassment, invasion of privacy, and defamation. These occurrences are often violations of their constitutional rights. Professor Barnes addresses growing concerns about the widespread immunity from liability enjoyed by United States tabloid publishers. Outrageous Invasions chronicles these experiences and the legal battles waged by celebrities in both the United States and European Union against a press corps that continuously invades their private lives. Professor Barnes analyzes doctrinal developments in cases from the United States Supreme Court and the High Courts of Europe. These cases demonstrate that American celebrities are entitled to, but not receiving, the same protections as their European counterparts. In Outrageous Invasions, Professor Barnes explains the value of the rights of the individual to democratic nations. She notes the importance of insuring appropriate protection for freedom of expression and associational freedom through meaningful regulation in the instances when speech rights collide with equally important values such as privacy and equality.

Download or read book The Right of Publicity written by Jennifer Rothman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who controls how one’s identity is used by others? This legal question, centuries old, demands greater scrutiny in the Internet age. Jennifer Rothman uses the right of publicity—a little-known law, often wielded by celebrities—to answer that question, not just for the famous but for everyone. In challenging the conventional story of the right of publicity’s emergence, development, and justifications, Rothman shows how it transformed people into intellectual property, leading to a bizarre world in which you can lose ownership of your own identity. This shift and the right’s subsequent expansion undermine individual liberty and privacy, restrict free speech, and suppress artistic works. The Right of Publicity traces the right’s origins back to the emergence of the right of privacy in the late 1800s. The central impetus for the adoption of privacy laws was to protect people from “wrongful publicity.” This privacy-based protection was not limited to anonymous private citizens but applied to famous actors, athletes, and politicians. Beginning in the 1950s, the right transformed into a fully transferable intellectual property right, generating a host of legal disputes, from control of dead celebrities like Prince, to the use of student athletes’ images by the NCAA, to lawsuits by users of Facebook and victims of revenge porn. The right of publicity has lost its way. Rothman proposes returning the right to its origins and in the process reclaiming privacy for a public world.

Download or read book Laws of Image written by Samantha Barbas and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have long been obsessed with their images—their looks, public personas, and the impressions they make. This preoccupation has left its mark on the law. The twentieth century saw the creation of laws that protect your right to control your public image, to defend your image, and to feel good about your image and public presentation of self. These include the legal actions against invasion of privacy, libel, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. With these laws came the phenomenon of "personal image litigation"—individuals suing to vindicate their image rights. Laws of Image tells the story of how Americans came to use the law to protect and manage their images, feelings, and reputations. In this social, cultural, and legal history, Samantha Barbas ties the development of personal image law to the self-consciousness and image-consciousness that has become endemic in our media-saturated culture of celebrity and consumerism, where people see their identities as intertwined with their public images. The laws of image are the expression of a people who have become so publicity-conscious and self-focused that they believe they have a right to control their images—to manage and spin them like actors, politicians, and rock stars.

Download or read book Privacy and Personality Rights written by Robert Deacon and published by Jordan Publishing (GB). This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a practical guide to the drafting and protection of commercial agreements in the UK. It is the first book on the market to draw together the different strands of the law, including privacy, defamation, broadcasting rights, sponsorship, and merchandising. Analysis of the law is supplemented with precedent contractual agreements and injunctions enabling practitioners to respond quickly to their clients' needs. Article 8 of the European Court of Human Rights protects an individual's right to privacy, however, in the UK, this is particularly difficult to implement due to the lack of legislation in this area. Privacy law has developed as a result of several important cases over the past few years, such as Campbell v Mirror Group Newspapers, Douglas v Hello, and, most recently, the litigation involving Max Moseley. This book reviews each of these cases and explains the current situation regarding UK privacy law. Drawn from the Bar and the Press Complaints Commission, the team of authors is uniquely placed to give an insight into this increasingly complex and important area of law, to provide practical advice for practitioners who represent 'celebrity' clients. For anyone in the public eye whose image and reputation is their biggest commercial asset, they need to be able to protect this reputation and preserve their right to privacy while exploiting their image for commercial gain. When an individual's rights are violated, practitioners are frequently called upon to seek appropriate redress. This book suitably equips the practitioner to represent such clients and includes useful precedent contracts, injunctions, and claim documents on an accompanying CD-ROM.
