Pressed to the conclusion, this could result in new case law that restricts all our options. -----Original Message----- From: H&ECummer Sent: Sunday, May 26, 2013 4:00 PM To: lug at leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] photographer sued A similar project was done a year or so ago by Michael Wolf, a German photographer living and working in Hong Kong, whom I have met since my daughter helped edit one of his photo books on Hong Kong shop houses. Wolf's pictures showed more identifiable people than the New York ones and there was talk of suing for invasion of privacy but as far as I know nothing has come of it. But then Hong kong is not such a litigious society.

And the subjects thought they had an expectation of privacy with curtains drawn? I think the ones suing are on equally thin ice. Had this been done in France, Canada, etc. not so sure. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
