This assumes of course that StKilda footballers have a "good" reputation to begin with, your worship, sorry your member-ship!!

All I can say is plenty of other AFL clubs should be looking to do what St Kilda are doing and putting injunctions on her.

Well if I was an AFL player, who drew my income from playing 'g' rated football in front of thousands of kids each week and making my income accordingly from sponsorship, players nights, afl junior footy clinics, poster sales etc etc, I would imagine that a full naked shot of me having a wank published across the world might tarnish me in some way. Even though Heater may have done this in a G rated play already, I still would want to control what happens to my brand.
Whilst I agree and think your comment is hilarious, the common sense side of me errs on the side of these "supposed" intellectual giants. Like what that man stated about a famous St Kilda supporter recently, they really only think with their d...., I don't need my grand kids to start seeing images of "sporting types" blazenned in the media in this way.

I think 'junction' was the problem to begin with. Now they're at the crossroads.

It's actually not about if they are real. That's another topic. She allegedly has published images that cause the subject/potential plantiff to be defamed.

From what I gather there is no dispute by StKilda or it's players that the pics are indeed real.
The argument they are using is that the publisher of the photo's is not the person who took them, therefore not the "owner" of the photo's. Not having ownership rights means no right to publish.
I wonder how this sponsor feels?

so IF the girl took the pics herself, she can not put them up on computer for other people to see how low players really go to when drunk etc. |

Of course they can. It's not about your fame, it's about your reputation.
Here is a good definition I just found under "law for dummies". You will see it also refers to the sports case I spoke of last post if you go to their website.
defamatory if it tends to injure reputation by:
disparaging a person;
causing others to shun or avoid a person; or
subjecting a person to hatred, ridicule and contempt.

In the case of <no names please> it would be classed as indecent exposure!  |
^^^ A bit like the grand final replay!^^^^
Much more embarressing than a few shots of the Team out of uniform! 
Heater left Reiwaldt looking like the giant sook he is! 
Better luck next time? i doubt it! |

Yep I think he has a good case there , that pic will embarass him forever.
At least our player knows how to do a good smother , not like that team mate in that other pic of Roo.
