A small win for freedom of the press
"Max Mosley yesterday lost a court bid to force journalists to contact people before publishing potentially embarrassing details of their private lives, a case prompted when a News Corp. newspaper reported he’d taken part in a Nazi-themed sex party without calling him beforehand.
The record award the High Court in London granted the former Formula One president for breach of his privacy was 'an adequate remedy’ that averted the 'chilling effect’ a prior-notification requirement could have on the media, the European Court of Human Rights ruled yesterday."

Not suprised by Max Mosley's behavior after all his father Oswald Mosley formed the British Union of Fascists before World War Two.
Ah yes, good old England where truth is no defence. Money always talks loudest.

So money doesn't talk even louder in the States, where the Green Back is King?
