David and Courtney Cox Arquette Upset About Photos of Daughter

LOS ANGELES, April 18 / PRNewswire/ -- The following press release is being issued by David & Courteney Cox Arquette:

"Although we are public figures, we do have a right to privacy. The
photos from our daughter's christening are being distributed without our
consent. Anyone publishing these photos will be in copyright infringement and
liable to legal action. We appreciate your sensitivity to this matter."

I haven't personally seen these pictures and quite frankly I don't really care to. The Arquette family is entitled to their privacy as much as anyone else is. It is too bad that so many American's are obsessed with the lives of celebrities.

The only problem I have with this press release is comment about copyright infringement. If the pictures were taken by an independent source, wouldn't they be the property of the photographer.

It is time we start respecting the privacy of all Americans. It is really nobody's business what people choose to do behind closed doors. People do not want the intimate details of their lives displayed for the world to see. In America, where glitz and glamour is a dream of many, snakes in the media industry will pay top dollars for exclusive pictures of celebrities in private moments.
