I agree - but this really is just a sign of the times. Technology has made our previous implicit social contract re: privacy somewhat out of date. We need to (and we are, naturally) developing new codes of conduct in its place. Incidents like this will push this evolutionary process in the right direction.

Not sure why we need to get involved, legally. This seems like one of those things where we really can just let it regulate itself. I am fairly certain Mr. Boyle is receiving his lesson in respecting boundaries as we speak.
