so, you're saying that if i don't want to run the risk of a man not being able to control himself from sticking his camera in my crotch (so to speak), i should not show any skin at all in public.

I think you know I'm not saying that. But for celebs, you can pretty much expect that if you allow it to be seen, it will show up in the media.

It's all speculation though. We haven't seen exhibit B and for all we know, it was a 2MP crop from an 8MP camera.

I don't think for one second that Maria Sharapova doesn't work the media just as much as Britney. No celeb goes out in public w/o proper nip or crotch coverage thinking their junk will remain unseen.

True but wasn't Maria at a photo shoot (i.e. her wardrobe was selected for her) vs Britney who was out to party and be seen.

and why shouldn't Maria be able to wear what is most comfortable and pretty much the standard when it comes to tennis clothing.

i really do not believe we are seriously discussing someone's crotch so much.
I think the starting male posters were not serious and were joking. And I do not think anyone would dis-respect woman. Jokes humours are just that.

The truth is, this thread would have quickly went bye bye, if the joking went ignored. That may or may not have been a good thing.

Comedians, open up political forums, more often than politicians.

It's not just women... it seems that everyone WANTS to be offended by something. I'm offended that they were offended.

And threads that attract all the women on the SC could mean certain members go bye bye. :P

I think there is a bigger question that affects all.

Is there an expectation of privacy in public?

In relation to the OP, this was not in public.

OK then should we define it as "Workplace"?

Damn this tells the secret to Canon's hold on camera market.

Wait, it says a federal suit "U.S. headquarters on Fifth Ave"

Maybe it's not moot. So is there an expectation of privacy in the workplace?

I think celebs can expect to lose most of their privacy. It's just part of the gig.

Anyone want to trade a few million dollars for the sanctity of my life?

I didn't say you did. I was intending to continue a train of thought about your point that she was working instead of partying and to answer a previous post about how she is able to choose to wear shorts instead of the tennis dress. I apologize for the confusion caused.

Actually doesn't the photo in question have to be used in some capacity for it to run afoul of any privacy laws unless of course while taking the photo she was subjected to physical/mental harm?

So you're saying that until he uses the image in some other way, his private pervy-ness is legal? Should we even make that distinction?

My point earlier was she didn't have choices not that she shouldn't exercise choice.

Edited for clarity.

@wavelength and @thegrandwazoo

You do know I am asking a question as well right? You both seem to be responding as if that is my view on the subject.
