Which just what I have indicated in post #35.

Yes, what did the BBC say about the legal battle around this? That the compensation they were liable to get would be around £20,000... If that is true (I don't know how much boobies are worth), then it is clear that such a small amount doensn't weigh up against all the cash they earn from it. Although you still have to count the lawyer's fees, the Duke and Dutchess's fees, the court costs etc. If the magazine loses the case, that is. Could become quite a nice little sum for a magazine like that, plus the cost of the photos.
On the other hand, FifthElement does have a point there. I mean, if I leave the curtains of my bathroom open, believing that no-one can see me because I live in an area where no-one lives across the street, and I catch someone with binoculars looking at me, I believe I could prosecute, couldn't I? Then why shouldn't they? Although I think they were going to try and do that, but that requires the ID of the photographer, which the magazine(s) are not going to give them readily...

Jackie Kennedy's faded from imagination, so will these, Jacqueline Kennedy was at least super-good looking.
I pretty much said it in post #15 - lol.
Emil I do like the post tiltle. Somehow using a title to a person rather then their name makes it almost sound like you were talking about a famous bust a sculpture of some description.
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
Well I do not warm to the vernacular and a certain amount of decorum is required on these occasions. I don't think that 'Katy's Knockers' would have been appropriate for such an august institution as this forum.Emil I do like the post tiltle.

To be honest this forum resembles more August's daughter...
Jackie O. pics are not hazy, a bit bushy though......
Will *ANYONE* have the decency to post a link to the actual image? I can't find it on Google.

Uh . . . Google?
There are so many photoshopped pictures of nude celebrities across the Internet, some of them fairly convincing, that make these types of photos increasingly redundant.
Not that I've looked into them or anything . . .
Scuba divers got Jackie O-I'm sure they made a bundle for those pics.
I would like to thank whoever posted the link so I could go look at them. I cannot even fathom what it would be like to have so little privacy.
