Wall St. Journal: “In 2005, the Governator signed a law that allowed for huge fines against paparazzi found guilty of assaulting a picture subject and could force photographers to hand over income from any photos taken during an altercation. Now, it’s not just the photographers themselves that are fair game. California passed a law this week that allows civil law suits against media outlets that publish photos snapped illegally.”
