I guess I'm a little confused about this, because I'm not sure copyright law is what really prevents people from publishing each other's private writings. I'm thinking of when celebrities have their sex videos or nude pictures stolen (a bizarrely regular occurrence), are they suing on the basis of copyright infringement? You rarely hear that mentioned in these cases.
