Leave her alone!Kelley Drye’s Don D. Buchwald, working for $100 an hour as a court-appointed attorney for Ashley Dupré, the prostitute linked with Gov. Eliot Spitzer, defended his client’s privacy in this letter sent to the media.He says that Dupré was “thrust into the public glare at age 22 without her consent” and that “some publications, in violation of journalistic norms, have used the occasion as an excuse to exploit Dupré’s persona for commercial purposes by, among other things, displaying a montage of suggestive photographs of Ms. Dupré that has nothing to do with the Spitzer story,” and in “violation of her privacy rights and federal copyright law.”Unnamed commercial Web sites have also done the same.You are right, sir.
