"In France we have a law which doesn't allow the press to publish a photo that you didn't approve. It lets the paparazzi take the picture, but if they publish this picture, you have the choice to sue the newspaper. So me, I always sued them"

In this quote, French starlet Audrey Tautou is going over a law in France that protects individuals from having their photos published without their consent. She explains that while paparazzi are permitted to take pictures, they are not enabled to release them without the topic's approval. This provides the individual the power to take legal action versus the paper if their picture is published without their permission. Tautou reveals that she has actually personally taken advantage of this law by taking legal action against newspapers who have actually published her photos without her approval. This quote highlights the value of personal privacy and permission in the media, and the power that individuals have to protect themselves from unwanted direct exposure.
