No, exactly wrong. Camilla was treated worse than Meghan and like the whore of Babylon up until the DAY SHE GOT MARRIED. The minute Charles put a ring on his former mistress' finger, the press left her alone. Meghan has faced all of this false criticism from the moment it became known she was his girlfriend, through their wedding, through her pregnancy, and now with a newborn. The press left Waity Katie and Mistress Camilla behind when they became royals. They did not extend Meghan the same courtesy. |
I'm sorry, were Kate and Camilla leaking letters to the press and then starting rumors about their BILs cheating on their SILs to take the heat off them? |
LMAO Darling that's child's play. You need to study the 90s. Camilla gaslight the Princess of Wales and had the Prince of Wales inviting Diana to HER HOUSE for dinner after which she and the Prince went upstairs for sex. |
Are you stupid? The lawsuit is about the leaked letter, which Meghan still has copywrite over. She didn't leak it. William's wandering d!ck was apparently leaked by Rose herself. |
She doesn't have copyright over a personal letter. If she's enough of a douche to copyright a personal letter to her dad, she's even crazier than I thought. And no, William didn't cheat on kate. Everyone knows this. It was a rumor leaked by Meagain to get the press off her. |
I think Meghan thought she could have her cake and eat it too. She wanted the fame and attention and funds that come with being a royal but she wanted to control her image and the press and maintain her privacy when she wanted to.
I can imagine this has been a massive adaptation for her and I don't think she has handled it well. Most of what I have seen in the Daily Mail is pretty factual. From what I can tell they are happy to air dirty laundry but usually have the evidence to back it up. It isn't clear if they are suing saying things weren't factual or just that it has been an invasion of privacy. I imagine Meghan has been very difficult - big culture shift on top of everything else and she isn't one to not get her way. |
She does have copyright. It's whole basis of this suit. I don't even care about William cheating, it'll all come out eventually. Copyright law states that the AUTHOR is the owner of the legal rights to the letter. Thomas didn't write it so he couldn't sell it without Meghan's permission. Which is exactly why numerous other papers refused to touch it. The DM was just foolish enough to go ahead. If you don't believe that, go look up Prince Charles lawsuit over the publication of his private journal. He won his case for the exact same reason. |
OMG the whole royal family is DIFFICULT. The problem here is they're singling Meghan out. William sent legal notices to multiple papers over his 'human right' to have an affair. Charles sued over the papers getting a hold of his secret conversation with Camilla declaring he wanted to be a tampon. The only reason Phillip's philandering ways have stayed out of the major press is because the Royal family isn't above threats. So please...stuff it with how the newest princess is spoiled. They all are. |
But she sent the letter to someone. her father had it in his possession fair and square for him to do as he wished. Completely different from a private journal that wasn't meant for anyone else to have in their possession. If someone sends me something, it is mine to do with as I please. I don't think you have copyright on a personal letter sent to other people. |
Great, you think something and suddenly it should be law. Well wishes and fairies don't exist. Please shut up. COPYRIGHT definitely does apply to personal correspondence and private records such as diaries and family photographs. The copyright legislation of countries such as England, Australia and the United States (to name just three) specifically protects 'literary and artistic' works, as well as musical and performed works (although the law is more complicated with respect to these.) Judicial cases have consistently held that works need not be of great aesthetic or intellectual value to warrant copyright protection: they merely need to be original to the author, artist or creator. For this reason, it definitely would be a breach of copyright for a friend to publish the letters that you had sent him or her, and you could seek an injunction to prevent such publication, or damages if the publication had already taken place. https://www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries/query/0,,-2260,00.html |
Err - if you have a law degree to opine on copyright law please contact them for a refund. ![]() |
Actually the writer of the letter has the copyright. I have a classmate who wrote a book about the murder of her best friend and wanted to use letters she received from her friend and could not because the family of the letter writer would not release the copyright on them. |
Oh, good grief. You need to think through the logic of your position. You're suggesting that Meghan leaked the letter that she is suing over. How would that work in court, exactly? Meghan gave the DM the letter and now is suing them for publishing it? Does that make any sense to you, really? |
I love how some of y’all post as if you’re 100% sure that Meghan and Harry leak stories to the press. There has never been any such thing proven. Yet when any bad publicity comes around about Kate and William; it’s decried as false. That is why Harry is goo after the British Media. Because of the double standard. Kate and William, and most of the royal family including the freaking pedophile are treated with kid gloves. But it’s been open season on MM. if most of you are honest with yourselves, you know exactly why. But let’s keep playing these little games and acting as if it’s all driven by MM’s own behavior. |
Notice Kate Middleton hasn’t needed to sue the press. Because she has class.
