Thanks that is a very cool case and I hope she sues these newspapers. I was feeling a bit peeved thinking my blogs were being studied or my comments being archived and scanned for research. I have a background in radical mental health where I object to being a subject or specimen of someone in a white coat. I feel put down by being reminded these words I write now are public. Scholarly content, comment seems less public than it can be. Like the women in the article it is there but not usually found by many. This case seems a new view on the recent public private debate that might be winnable. I wonder if facebook would also sue claiming their ownership of photos posted to their site or would they op out of this type of action to keep the world of media going. I do not think Myspace claim IP ownership of user posted photos but I think facebook does. Peter a non student of media. On 18-Mar-08, at 11:54 PM, Julian Hopkins wrote:

In relation to this it's interesting to see that these issues may be going a bit more mainstream now, via Ashley Alexandra Dupre and journalism: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7302968.stm

Today as I was checking a quote from Couser's "Vulnerable Subjects: Ethics and Life Writing" I was reminded of our recent discussion of IRB's and ethics, particular the mention of disciplines that do not routinely seek IRB approval for their work. Couser raises many of the same issues discussed here, though in terms linked to his work studying life writing. The book is a recommended read for anyone who makes the comparison between internet research and traditional studies of say novels or autobiographies. Some will find his discussion of "harming" and "wronging" of particular interest.
