World Wide Petition for Artists Rights to Privacy

Updated: June 5th, 1999

We, the undersigned, unanimously demand from governments worldwide to pass a law bill which would serve to protect the rights to privacy of all artists, as with those of any and all other persons, worldwide.

Too often, we hear of people being killed, harmed or harrassed because of the divulgation of private information and we hence demand deterent laws be instilled to prevent this kind of behaviour.

We also hereby demand that proper actions be taken so as to ensure that any person and/or institution found guilty of divulging private information be prosecuted to the full extend of the law.

We also demand strict punishment for all stalkers of any kind.

Trusting all respective governments will heed our requests and abide by these within the shortest delays, we have faithfully signed;

If someone issues private information to a third party, is the former hence criminally negligent if the said 'third party' ends up killing, battering or otherwise harrassing someone else, due to the receipt of said private information? Well, in my opinion, such people should be held liable for damages, such as relocation fees, payable to anyone whose privacy they infriged. Matter of fact, these same people should also be held just as criminally responsible as the ensuing crime's perpetrator. Such laws would most surely serve to deter such mindless, careless and negligent attitudes.

We pay taxes to get services. When these services fail, we have a right to complain (loudly) about it. I cannot understand why private information should be divulged to just about anyone who bothers to ask. I also fail to understand how newspapers can take the liberty of issuing an artist's HOME address and not be held legally responsible of the "usual" consequences which ensue from such actions. Selena... Does that name ring a bell?

Protection for Artists is a long overdue issue. Confidential? What does that mean nowadays, anyway?

no person whether they be famous or not should have to live in fear of what crazed lunatic will be breaking into their homes. our homes are suppose to be a sanctuary for us, a place to go when we do not want to be bothered. i think it is a real outrage that after repeated appeals to "the sun's" uk tabloid not to print george michaels address that they would have the gall to print it again causing this man to have to move. did jill dando's murder mean nothing!!!! as much as i love to read about my favorite artist, "george michael", where he lives is no ones business. please, please do something about this very important matter immediately!!!!!!!

someone has to do something about it. Does the word "privace" mean anything nowdays? If someone signed up to be in public eye that doesn't mean they singed up to even go home worrying that someone is waiting for that there.

Need-to-know - seems a simple solution, or is Transparancy the answer? Intelligence agencies use it. Recently I've seen a lot of people looking for an external cause to the problem of violence or social problems. Why not ask who a person is, what she or he wants in life, and why. There were no video games, pop artists, reporters, movie stars 500 years ago, yet we still have the same problems, century after century, under new names with the same faces. With just a small effort, we can work together to create a peaceful place to live and love. Insurace agencies want to know everything about the ordinary citizen, but how much do they need to know? Doctors keep private records of a patient, so does the government, and people are have spam in their email and snail mail boxes, from all over the world. How to defeat this New World Order / All Seeing Eye? Who knows, but let's fight it, before it's too late, and no one has any privacy, freedom, or whatever the golden age of! human kind is supposed to be.
