Well Sampson we came across this story on the BBC of the FIA President, Max Mosley winning his lawsuit against the News of the World which published photos and video of him taken during a private orgy.
The judge ruled that ""there was no public interest or other justification for the clandestine recording, for the publication of the resulting information and still photographs, or for the placing of the video extracts on the News of the World website - all of this on a massive scale.""
So once again, there's good precedent for you to pursue some sort of punitive action against those culprits who were intent on damaging your career.
But we all know the joke's on them now.
