Suppose you were an author and had recently completed a manuscript for a new book. You hire a company to help you move house and one of them copies the manuscript and publishes it on the internet. Or maybe some other personal, private and damaging records or material, such as images of you naked or making love, or compromising images of your son or daughter. If you went to the police, would you be fine if they refused to investigate because "this isn't some police state and we're not the Stasi"? Where would you draw the line on the responsibilities of people you pay to protect your privacy?
