Even the "pulot" excuse won't hold water if yun original na may ari ng pic has registered his/her intellectual property rights (meaning, copyright) over those pics. Note that those paparazzi makes their living taking pictures and submitting them to publications and they are paid hefty sums when their pictures are accepted. Yun kumuha ng pic ni Lady Di na naka bikini in the swimming pool of a hotel nuon sa HK was paid USD60,000.00 by a publication. Meron din privacy issues if a girl finds out that her pics are being posted without her expressed permission. Pag ayaw ng tao ma publish, pwede ka habulin ng invasion of privacy. Sa Pinas kasi, most subjects have no resources to run after people who may have violated their privacy so di na rin nakakasuhan ang mga nag post ng pics even without the permission nun nasa larawan. Yun iba naman kasi, they pose for publicity purposes. Wala masyado gastos at wala payola sa internet so they go thru the internet route. Otherwise, malaki ang ibabayad nila just to get media space. Now, pag nakilala na, that's the time they can command their price. Imbes na sila ang magbayad, sila na ngayon ang babayaran para mag pose or sila ang babayaran para ma hire.
