I see a lot of vitriol for gawker, a site that panders to what the public is asking for, but I can't argue with the feelings.

Anyway it's far from over, with First Look Media taking Gawker's side it's might be a protracted battle.

Maybe a certain segment of the public wants to see it, but that doesn't mean they should have a right to see it. Certain segments of the population like kiddie porn and snuff films, but the media filters those things (and rightfully so).

It's scary to think we live in a society with cameras everywhere and privacy is no longer respected. Personally, I don't care if someone is a celebrity or not, there should still be an expectation of privacy when it comes to the bedroom.
