INFO_DART, I like free speech, but if you harm some one you will pay for it and the punishment will fit the crime. And you are free to do it again and get punished for any harm you cause. This is what we now have with the slander and libel laws. You say a falsehood, you can be made to pay. So there is pressure to tell truth. Now you tell an unattractive truth that that person would not like made public, that is OK as long as you came about that truth in an honest way, no Watergate truths allowed, as they were B&E gathered truths. So people must protect privacy to keep bad truths hidded and you cannot steal that truth without penalty, but if they leave it on the street corner, you can say it. The national enquirer does this all the time, they dig up dirt and as long as they can say it is true and they got it without invasive actions they can print it. The person has no resort in law. If it is faked or from invasion they get fined, they have been fined again and again as you have seen, and they pay it as part of business cost. Bill
