VICTORIA'S FRAUGHT FORT
We're a little surprised that Victoria and David Beckham have got a payday from the photographer who flew over their property and took a snap of their garden - they agreed to settle in April for £6000 damages, but quibbling over costs has left the Beckhams having to pay both sides costs from that point. That could be up to £60,000.
What's curious, though, is the idea that Victoria and David's house cannot be looked at from the sky - does this just apply to them, or do us ordinary people have the right to stop pictures of our back garden being taken when the Easyjet from Luton to Malaga goes overhead?
Even more curious, though, is that the photographer Nick Stern could have claimed a public interest defence - his photo revealed that the Beckhams were building a giant "playfort" for the kids in the garden. So giant, they should have got planning permission. Which they'd forgotten to do. It was only the photos which alerted the local council to the transgression.

Do you think they're going to sue google earth and other places where you can access aerial photos of pretty much anywhere?
