Shamed by Mugshot Sites, Arrestees Try Novel Lawsuit
http://j.mp/TV7DVQ (Wired)
"Ciolek maintains that the act of profiting - by demanding payment to
remove a mugshot - is the same thing. But in this instance, it's not a
celebrity but somebody embarrassed of their past. And the plaintiff is
suing others for profiting on the removal of their likeness, not for
publishing it."
