Celebrity Confidentiality Agreements
marekbilek.cz - 5.12.2020At least the lesson that has been learned here is that the prudent author of a confidentiality agreement anticipates what would happen if the terms of the agreement were made public, and that he plans to use general definitions rather than specific examples, especially if these specific examples refer to the famous client as drug abuse for sex dissidents. The objective of each author is to maximize the likelihood that the agreement will never be violated and, in the event of a threat of infringement, that all efforts to enforce the agreement in order to avoid the infringement will not be made public. Effective confidentiality arrangements for celebrities and staff therefore provide deterrence mechanisms against offences and additional mechanisms to stem violations if they occur. Is there a confidentiality agreement? Does that happen and no one believes them? Do these celebrities know how to choose people noble enough not to kiss and tell? Does it happen all the time and I don`t have much to do on the Internet? All celebrities have incredible sexual abilities and huge penises, so this scenario is impossible? These days, nothing in Kanye West`s life seems to be out of control. As his wife Kim Kardashian is the queen of reality TV and everything, it`s hard to believe that he can hide every aspect of his personal life. When he was single, the potential Hook-ups of COURSE had to sign a confidentiality agreement, so it`s no shock that his marriage is just a bunch of paperwork itself. It was reported some time ago to TMZ, when West was in the middle of the recording of his album The Life of Pablo, he had his crew sign a lot of non-disclosure agreements. Under the terms, if someone divided information about a member of the Kardashian/Jenner clan, they would have to pay a fine of up to $10 million. I`ve learned that new information about the world`s most photographed family can be juicy, but it`s certainly not worth $10 million. No thank you. Celebrities are always admired, and people are always looking for ways to look into their private lives. They want to know how they work, who they are in contact with, what they do in their private time, how their family works, etc.
But celebrities are generally very aware of their secret, including actors, sportsmen, politicians and public figures, and we often hear someone working with them sign a confidentiality agreement. Comparison of Douglas v. Hello! and Campbell v. MGN, Ltd. shows the confusing state of English data protection legislation. Because of the impact of the convention`s rights on English law, the „data protection law“ mixes illicit law, treaty law, judicial law and regulatory law, resulting in an act of data protection in violation of the theory of trust and apparently indicating that treaty rights can set a precedent for freedom of expression. However, for the purposes of this trial, Douglas`s decisions are important to Campbell because they show that (i) English courts are uncomfortable when it comes to data protection issues; (ii) the outcome of a case may depend on the interest of privacy or money; and (iii) that, even in the confusing state of English data protection legislation, it is generally accepted that the level of data protection granted is proportionately linked to a celebrity`s reasonable expectation of privacy.
