On a reasonable expectation that your upper window is out of sight, I side with the suit. Caught in public: side with the artist. -- nm - Max May 28, 12:41 2

- My issue is that they were on the fourth floor. He didn't just walk past a ground floor apartment with their shades up. - Krusty May 28, 12:41
- what about the 'expectation of privacy' I mean you can't put a camera on your shoes and shoot up ladie's skirts -- nm - zeitgeist May 28, 12:38 16

    - On the fourth floor, probably. On the ground floor, no. -- nm - Krusty May 28, 12:42 12
      - in New York though? -- nm - colin May 28, 12:44 11
        
        I would expect the people who live across the street to be able to see in but not people on the street. - Krusty May 28, 12:45 10

        I wonder how far away his building was and if he needed a special super zoom lens. - ty97 May 28, 12:54 6
        
        I would still side with a suit from one 50th floor window to another, on the concept that the public would have never had access to view the 50th - Max May 28, 13:00 4
        
        But if the 50th floor windows are next door to each other, would you have an expectation of privacy? - ty97 May 28, 13:07 1
        
        Not to them but to the public as a whole, similar to the concept of making it illegal to record someone's conversation without their approval, - Max May 28, 13:12
        
        you can side with whoever you want. i'd recommend getting out your checkbook -- nm - charlie May 28, 13:01 1
        
        What if I bid on my own blackmail to make the price newsworthy? -- nm - Max May 28, 13:03

        You're right. I thought some were from the street but they were all shot from his apartment. - Krusty May 28, 12:50 1
