It is not a fact. To know WHY you'd have to know WHO.
You are looking at this in a small way. Folks are equating this voice message to a publicly uttered broadcast, because it is being broadcast on the public airwaves. But, this is an intensely private,
It was VOICEMAIL. The same laws govern it that would pertain to a written letter.
and sealed conversation we find out, the courts have already stepped in and said this was not to be released, so laws may have been broken to release this material.
Didn't listen to Harvey Levin, did you. Apparently, you're still assuming that it was Bassinger.
But, I can see Pelosi, Hillary and crowd taking this sort of attack to a whole new level. Folks around here are willing and eager to give up their sense of privacy and impute all sorts of boorish behavior as justification for this, but in the end, what rights you are willing to give up are gone forever.
Check your emotion and fear at the door and try finding what the law says. You REALLY need to get a grip. It sounds as if you are also assuming that this is the first time he's let loose with a verbal assault on his daughter. I wouldn't bet on that.
This has NOTHING to do with privacy law. He left a voicemail. After it left his mouth it was no longer his property. Please, check laws before you start seeing dangers behind every tree. Or phone.
Goodnight.
I used the words, laws may have been broken, this remains to be seen. A third party, not Bassinger releasing this probably would have broken several laws to release it, other than the daughter herself. But, Kim still would have to consent to the release even if her daughter had contacted Levin herself.
Any employee of the household or other party is not a party to the conversation and thus cannot legally transfer or sell the rights to this material. This would be a theft, plain and simple.
Baldwin's lawyers are certainly assuming Bassinger and occam's razor certainly points that way. Levin isn't saying. He is saying he obtained it legally. But, even if he didn't, is he nuts enough to say he obtained it illegally? No.
I keep going back to the point that this material doesn't belong in a public forum. Passed that, I really don't care.
I do have concerns that this whole thing can morph into things you aren't considering. Just like the Libs are pushing 20 different ideas to advance Gun control in the wake of the VT Slayings.
There is blood in the water, and Conservatives are acting like liberals wanting the state to step in and keep Alec Baldwin from calling his daughter a pig and this can get knee jerk badly thought through legislation passed.
