A television station shot some footage for later use of a crowd entering a building. The camera person centred in on a young woman in the crowd. The footage was later sold to another station and edited into the start of a midnight strip show. The woman sued and won but the interesting part related to the judgement.
The original station had the right to shoot the footage because it was in a public place. No releases were necessary and they had the right to sell it to the other station. The shot however became defammatory because it implied that the young woman centred out in the crowd (a prominent socialite) frequented strip clubs.
So, no release was necessary and if the station had edited out the close-up there would have been no case against them, and also if the footage had been used in a less "controversial" manner there would have been no case against them either.
