    If someone runs a red light and seriously injured you and/or someone in your family, I highly doubt you'll be concerned about passing the cost of whatever settlement you reach in or out of court onto the other consumers.

    Thats different- there is injury and medical bills. Me nor my family will profit in our career because that happened also. You are talking apples to oranges

    I'm pretty sure this is an isolated incident and not a common occurance

    This what they're missing. After lawyers fees and taxes, EA will clear somewhere south of $10mil. She didn't do this for money. She did this to help prevent future rapes and peep shows.

    I am pretty sure you have no facts to back up that statement.

    Also, just because a person or person(s) profit from a bad situation, it does not mean that the wronged party doesn't deserve compensation from those who are responsible.

    Marriott not on the hook for anything the franchise company however will be hurting. If this would have been a MA managed property things would be different.

    Do you know if she had psychological medical bills after the incident? And of so, how much they were?

    Also, just to clarify you are advocating for a system with literally no punitive damages?

    I'm betting they werent 2MM

    2MM is punitive- people dont have the right to be made rich because someone took a video of them and helped their career

    Fame is fame. Media, rock stars, sports stars, etc- its all the same. Fame causes this. Equal rights.

    What males have sued after having a peephole video released? What rights here aren't equal to you?

    So no famous men have ever sued because photos or videos were taken of them illegally?

    I can't recall any videos illegally taken of a male in the same vein that EAs video was taken (in which a poor security policy by a large, public company allowed).

    Still say it was too high. Also still think OJ is guilty, but hey, since the jury decided otherwise, I must be wrong.

    Serious question. Who on this board would not let someone post a grainy (so I've read) video of them naked to walk away with 10-12 million? I would think most would say sign me up.
