fuck off an die?
bit harsh.
tbh celebs are celebs cos they want celebrity, they want us to buy their stuff, watch them play footy, cook etc, and make them famous. so they open up their lives to us and let us in, then they do a naughty and its all "oh, noes, my private life, please mr judge wont you think of poor old me/my family." Crass.
The other thing with injunctions is that there are loads more that we don't even know about, we only hear about the celeb ones...
"http://mirror.wikileaks.info/wiki/Guardian_still_under_secret_toxic_waste_gag/"
"It is not the only one. Last month, the Guardian revealed that it had been served with 10 secret gag orders—so-called "super-injunctions"— since January. In 2008, the paper was served with six. In 2007, five. Haven't heard of these? Of course not, these are secret gag orders; the UK press has given up counting regular injunctions."

You're Missing The Point....
Assange, apart from being an *incredible* hypocrite with a messiah complex, wants the "public interest" to be whatever the public is interested in and so, anyone who comes into the press's radar, automagically loses any right, to any privacy whatsoever. Don't forget, it's largely the press who decide who is or isn't newsworthy.
Take her "Royal Hotness" Pippa Middleton. Is she fair game? Just because her sister married an inbred?
Justifying phone tapping on the grounds that someone is "famous" is sick. And, where do you draw the line, if anywhere? Suppose me and my mates in the pub decide that we're interested in the new family that's moved into the area. We're part of the public, we're interested in them so, according to Asshats arguments, we'd be completely justified in tapping their phones, reading their mail and hacking their computers. Information wants to be free.
And, to justify the hypocritical slur, can you remember when Assange screamed like a virgin when the Guardian published details of Swedish allegations against him? For a media-whore like him to object to the publication really took the biscuit.
Cheers
