| | |  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.

Dude that is soo rude. Come on...common sense. Jo writes HP books these books are huge through out the world. You know obsessive fans are going to come along and start camping outside her house just to get to see her. * shudders* first thing in the morning ample amounts of people just shouting their heart's out. Weird.

That's really rude it's just disgusting I mean there is a difference in loving her and putting her and her family in danger! Publishing where she lives! That's just going to far!

Poor JK, if obsessive fans found her exact location then she would be in a bit of a fix. With people knocking on her door and invading her privacy she would never be able to finish the 7th book. Scary.

That is wrong. JK deserves privacy just as much as any other person does. I hate tabloids and the press. They will break the law just to get their story.

If they do, she's got enough money to just sell the place and buy again in an undisclosed location....(preferably west coast America...) or make her house like Buckingham palace. I'm sure she can use a few of those fuzzy little guards...
And don't be upset with the press. Media has first ammendment rights in America and in England in order to protect their right to inform the people. If they do it legally, and without libel, it's fair game. Journalists, yellow or not, are not bad people... they are not snoops or stalkers. They're like detectives, just getting information to put everything together in order to feed the people what they want (and so on..)

The Palace has had several security breaches in the past year. A journalist managed to get a job there and got into the Queen's room and Fathers for Justice campaigners have scaled the outside a few times. Not the best example if you're trying to highlight good security! lmao.

If they're going to make the palace look like a prison, you think they would do something about their security.

I agree. I mean just because they're celebrities and live in the public eye doesn't mean that they aren't human. I hope Jo gets the justice she deserves.
