For those who do not read French, it basically summarizes some recent court cases which indicate that the jurisprudence is moving to address the balance between the right to privacy and the right to artistic expression. Indeed, as Greg says, the image must be degrading or humiliating to the subject in some way. Of course, this still leaves a large grey area. For example, what if some of the couples I photographed are cheating on their respective spouses? Clearly, they would not be happy about the evidence of their infidelity being on the net. On the other hand, if you are cheating on your wife, then you would presumably not go smooching with your girlfriend in one of the most public places in Paris...
