Privacy victory for Icelandic star smoking in public

The Icelandic supreme court has ruled that one of the country's most popular singer-songwriters, Bubbi Morthens, had an "expectation of privacy" while smoking in his car on a street in Reykjavik. Morthens was awarded €8,000 (£5,400) after sueing an Icelandic gossip magazine for publishing a picture of him smoking under the headline "Bubbi fallinn!" (Bubbi has fallen/relapsed). This has the whiff of the European Court of Human Rights ruling in the Caroline of Monaco case. (Via Iceland Review)
