Wrong. They are 1. newsworthy 2. taken by officials therefore under no copyright.
"I'm determined to get them off the Internet, although I've been told by every single person who's an Internet expert that we will never get them removed," said Christos Catsouras, a 46-year-old Realtor parasite.
That's right dearie, the internet routes around people like you. Your "privacy" fnord is just roadkill
on the information superhighway. Sort of like your daughter was 241 roadkill.
Soon after the photos hit the Internet, the Catsouras family contacted Michael Fertik, who had just founded ReputationDefender, a Redwood City-based company that seeks to protect customers' online reputations.
Since late 2006, Fertik said, his company has persuaded websites to remove 2,500 of the crash photos, but they continue to spread rapidly and exponentially, beyond his ability to remove them.
Fertik said the case illustrates that in the age of the Internet, "whether you opt in or not, you're opted in."
"Right now, the law protects copyright more than it does privacy," Fertik said. "The laws that were passed in this field, in the mid- to late 1990s, made sense at the time. That was the Jurassic era of the Internet."

Yeah, and the bill of rights was even earlier. Get over it.
