It might be worth watching Panorama on BBC1 tonight (15th June 8.30 pm) as it examines people who are pushing for laws to boost a persons right to privacy and those in the media trying to tell the truth or lies.

I imagine Max Mosley will be in it

I try not to imagine Max Mosely in anything.

The media's take on whether the media should be reined in at all...
They haven't (yet) mentioned the vital difference between public interest and public curiosity.

Onto Max Mosley and they're making a meal over advance notification without actually mentioning that the reason he got damages was *not* because of the lack of advance notification, but because the story was false.
Oh, and no-win-no-fee is the work of Stan because it enables people to sue the poor beleaguered tabloids.
This is a very one sided debate.

Great interview with Max Mosley on this link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8095366.stm
I don't have TV, am just hoping that I can watch this on IPlayer when it's been aired. Enjoy - will be interested to hear what people think of this.
I continue to feel really impressed by Max. A handsome gent AND a masochist with pride and warrior spirit, admirable.

Mr Mosley did come across as sane and articulate. What difference if some one has a Nazi fantasy and decides to play it out in a scene in private - it doesn't make them a Nazi sympathiser or even a fascist. It relates to the power dynamic of play, just as a rape fantasy does - I dont want to be raped in real but yes hold me down, tie me up and force me ... Fantasies are just dreams in our heads and when brought to life in play SSC is present unlike real rape which isnt about sex but power over another without CONSENT.
It is worrisome that the press have no respect for privacy or the damage they wreak on people's lives and careers for the sake of their circulation numbers and bottom line �� - let's be honest they dont care about public interest really - they play to the lowest common denominator in the tabloids to make money and beat their rivals to the headlines.
I really dont want to watch or know about private things -kiss and tell stories, I dont read them. Yes MP's duck islands etc are in the public interest - it's our money and we elected them (more fool us).

Ian Hislop's intelligent and articulate, too, and I was interested in why he is so opposed to prior notification or indeed to establishing a public interest.
Maybe it's because I'm not a journo, but I genuinely don't understand what the problem is - especially if you're a reputable publication - in establishing that your story carries public interest.
Given that the Eye routinely satirises the Telegraph as the Hellograph, it seems terribly hypocritical for Hislop to be defending the red-tops' right to mere prurience.

And in Mr Mosley's case, he has a judgement from the High Court saying it wasn't a Nazi fantasy.

As the judgement found - just talking in german in that scene - so Mr Mosley won and goes to Strasbourg now...
