I read about this guys work elsewhere and my immediate thought was that he 
was skating on very thin ice legally. It will be interesting to see the 
outcome of this, but in my eyes it is a very clear case of invasion of 
privacy, and I feel that even the defence of 'in the public interest' will 
fail here if he attempts to invoke it.
