Description: | To protect this right, the author advocates the licensing of personal identifiable images where appropriate.The book reviews American, UK and European case law concerning privacy and confidentiality, the effect each case has had on the developing jurisprudence, and the ethical issues involved.

Further, it offers a new approach to the complex issues of privacy and confidentiality, by drawing on Joseph K in Kafka''s disturbing novel The Trial, and on Isaiah Berlin''s notion of liberty and freedom. Taking into consideration rights and wrongs, protection from harm associated with compulsory visibility, and the need for effective data protection law, the author promotes ethical practices by reinterpreting privacy as a property right.
