The problem is we don't have privacy laws in the UK, only a vague and general right to privacy due to ECHR. This has led to rich people abusing exiting laws (libel, breach of confidence etc). A genuine privacy law may help distinguish cases of investigative journalism from snooping into peoples sex lives. I have left this comment on several blogs, but I think I will do so again.
