Last but not least: Court bans images

 The photos of Herbert Grönemeyer's girlfriend may no longer be published following a ruling by the German Federal Supreme Court. As the news agency SDA writes in a report, the court has banned the magazine Bunte from publishing pictures of the Zurich woman. She did not have to accept reporting on her privacy. Bunte published pictures showing the couple in a café in Rome and strolling in a pedestrian zone. For the Federal Court of Justice, this was a recognizably private situation that had no connection to a historical event. As the pictures were not a contribution of general interest or information about a historical event, they were not allowed to appear in Bunte. The only question is whether this ruling has any effect on photos of celebrities and their appendages in general? After all, photos of children and girlfriends of stars are not really of general interest and stars themselves are not really historical events.
