There's this whole attitude in the US that if you're a public figure, you don't have a right to privacy anymore, it's why the paparazzi haven't even gotten a slap on the wrist for the things they've done (like running Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver, and their daughter literally off the road). And when an attitude is supported legally (paparazzi who have been taken to court have generally won their cases based on this 'principle'), then people start to think they have a right to the public figure, like they own a piece of them. It's disgusting really.
