California Family Fights For Privacy, Relief From Cyber-Harassment 544
theodp writes "Just days after his daughter Nikki's death in a devastating car crash, real-estate agent Christos Catsouras clicked open an e-mail that appeared to be a property listing. Onto his screen popped his daughter's bloodied face, captioned with the words 'Woohoo Daddy! Hey daddy, I'm still alive.' Now he and his wife are attempting to stop strangers from displaying the grisly images of their daughter — an effort that has transformed Nikki's death into a case about privacy, cyber-harassment and image control. The images of Nikki, including one of her nearly-decapitated head drooping out the shattered car window, were taken as a routine part of a fatal accident response and went viral after being leaked by two CHP dispatchers. 'Putting these photos on the Internet,' says the family's attorney, 'was akin to placing them in every mailbox in the world.'"

Long live Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky!
Is it not a little ironic that they are all long dead?

A person's likeness, being a natural trait and not the design of any human, doesn't meet the requirement.
What about people that have had plastic surgery?

"if your dumb enough to do drugs, then your dumb enough to drive too. just look at drunk drivers."
Yes, everyone that ever drank a beer has driven drunk, crashed and died. I forgot about that.
The real reason those who do drugs don't drive is because they have already lost or never had a license, and don't feel the need to drive.
Yes, that too is an indisputable fact, that everyone that's ever smoked weed is a lazy good for nothing that never got a license. Just like all those politicians. That must be why they need chauffeurs!
Your logic is astounding and undeniable sir!
