Creepy Cameraman is a Paparazzi, meaning that what he is doing to common folks on video is no different from what famous people are being subjected to everyday.

Creepy Cameraman is a Paparazzi, meaning that what he is doing to common folks on video is no different from what famous people are being subjected to everyday.
Question is why is it acceptable to us when Paparazzis do it to Hollywood stars but not when same is done to us?
- kaolinite 14y agoIt's a complicated issue however there is a difference: film stars make money from being famous. The more well known they are, the more money they get for an appearance in a film. Being famous is just as much their job as acting. I'm not saying that they therefore have no right to privacy - I'm not even sure exactly what my views are on the issue - but there is definitely a difference.

- RickHull 14y ago> Being famous is just as much their job as acting. This seems like sloppy thinking to me. Becoming famous is a potential side-effect of their acting job. With fame comes other opportunities, but that doesn't make being famous a job. Who is the employer? Likewise, getting a good night's sleep brings opportunities to excel that might not otherwise be available. It doesn't make it my job.
