| | |  British tabloid in trouble over JK photos
The Daily Mirror has been criticised by the Press Complaints Commission for being in breach of the PCC privacy code. The tabloid newspaper earlier in the year printed pictures of JK's home in London together with the name of the road on which it was located. Quote:
The newspaper argued that the address was in the public domain: the name of the road had already been published in another newspaper, and the electoral register and Land Registry identified the complainant as the owner. It did, however, offer not to republish the precise location of the property unless it became newsworthy.
Quote:
ADJUDICATION: The Commission recognises that high-profile individuals may be exposed to security problems if their precise addresses are published. Indeed, the newspaper itself noted that the complainant had "gained her fair share of stalkers and obsessive fans". The Commission was satisfied that the photograph and its caption contained sufficient information to identify the exact location the property. It did not consider that the newspaper had demonstrated that the information was in the public domain to such an extent as to justify publishing it in this way. There was therefore a breach of Clause 3 (Privacy) on this point.

Thats really rude, you think people would have some common sense and think of the outcome of telling people the street address of a famous writter.
hm, yes, obsessive fans would be a big problem!

Publishing where she lives isn't the best of ideas. But she doesn't live on a secluded island: she has neighbors, children, a husband, who each know other people in turn and so on. So strictly speaking they have a point by saying that it is a public domain. Of course, it's wrong to stalk anyone and to say the publishing of the add is the cause, isn't correct. It's the obsession within those people. You could give me her add, right now. I wouldn't go there, I like her writing but her private life is basically none of my business and everyone has to wait for book 7 so why not wait even if you know where she lives. So the point is who's to blame? I guess the newspaper partly but actually more the people that really go there and start disturbing the peace and privacy.

I hate the press. They are nosey. I know she is news "worthy" but they should let celebs have a private live. All of them, not just JK Rowling. They deserve family time and privacy just like anyone else.

Hmm, I think it's a bit rude. If people know where she lives, then they will start showing up at her house.

That's rude. Even if she's one of the biggest names in the world, it doesnt give anyone any right to go publishing her address. That's just stupid, imagine what harm it would do to her family.

That's really terrible to put Jo and her family's safety in jeopardy for the sake of a news piece.

Everyone has a right to some privacy. She has a family and her space should be respected. I would not want anyone taking pictures of me in my home.

Dude, that is so wrong !!!! I know everyone wants to meet her and everything, but she has the right to live a peaceful life... Imagine having hundreds of people waiting in front of your house everyday maybe even camp outside your door, or crazy stalker watching your every single move... Brrr, scary !!!

Thats just plain rude. JK deserves as much privacy as anyone else, no one should go around giving her address out. The thing that is sickening is that the tabloids do all this just for some money, when they could be endangering her family.

Haha, what a losers, bet they thought they could get away with it...you know, I think it would completely freak me out if there were obsessive fans outside my door...that is, if I get to be famous of course....which I don't really see happening...

Don't the British press have any sense! I mean come on having a photo printed with the road name! Shes a human too! It's always the same with our press, they always think that cause they are so famous that the public have the right to know "Everything under the sun about them!" She's got a family afterall! It's not just her home!
