Context
A married couple provided footage of their wedding to an australian Television channel, for a show about unusual weddings.
the couple went for a cruise on their harleys after the service, with all of their mates. So the couple gave consent for the video to be displayed in public. All good so far.
The stations flagship tabloid news show then took the footage and used it as stock footage in the background whilst doing an article about outlaw bikie gangs and organised crime.
The couple sucessfully sued the station for libel & defamation, and got 1.3mil damages. even when you give away your privacy, you don't give away your rights.
Paris; cos I'm sure there's a few videos she's like to make private again.
