Edison Chan's Case In Hong Kong

The story.....

He has had sexual relationship with various actresses, singers and girls from entertaintment circle here, as shown in the photographs circulated, but he really is the copyright owner of these photos, and if you really want to profit from these stuff, you have to wait for 50 years after the death of the owner( from the end of the calendar year in which the owner dies, according to copyright law in HK), can you wait?

He has the right to sue anyone who has downloaded, stored and disseminated the photographs owned by him, so assume you have done all the things mentioned, he will chase after you from now on until 50 years plus..... are you scarred? try to look at the definitions in the law......

How many laws relating to this case?
Answer: three, a) Copyright law; b) personal data privacy law and c) control of indecent and obscene articles ordiance, I will try to find out more about the details of those law later...

What we can learn from this case, as an ordinary citizen and as men who are handsome, charming and rich: Never send your laptop for fixing if it is crashed, who knows you may store some photos or files in the harddisk, consciously or unconsciously, proving that you are actually not the one as you look like in day time.........
