What he said and how it was disseminated are two completely separate events that just happen to overlap/coincide.
Abdul-Jabbar's commentary on how and what can be recorded should raise a similar public anger. Since that also goes right back to what the paparazzi do to make lives miserable and should not be permitted to do.
We can record a guy’s private discussions in a room but must get a court order to listen to his phone? Unfortunately, Justice Scalia, representing a right wing attitude, said the Constitution does not grant you a right of privacy. A major and undefined gray area exist that technology accentuates and that desperately must be addressed by some standardized laws.
In some states, it is illegal to record sounds outside your home. And yet it is legal for someone to record your conversation inside a house?
