J.K. Rowling Wins Invasion of Privacy Case Against Daily Mirror
J.K. Rowling has won her privacy complaint against the Daily Mirror.
Britain's Press Complaints Commission has ruled the Daily Mirror improperly published a photo of author J.K. Rowling's home.
The creator of Harry Potter registered a complaint with the commission charging a July 14 Daily Mirror article, which included a photo of her property and named her street, was a violation of her privacy.
Rowling's attorneys said the author had been "subject to security threats" in the past and the information revealed by the tabloid again put the author and her family at risk, the Mirror reported Wednesday.
In ruling in Rowling's favor, the commission said the newspaper noted in its article she had "gained her fair share of stalkers and obsessive fans."
Well, she won her complaint. But now all the crazies know where she lives: does this mean she has to move?
