Can't seem to find any lawsuit settlements or law breaking. Who lost their job and what agency was shut down due to Moore's movies? Too bad though..everyone he targets deserves to rot.
Michael Moore doesn't use hidden cameras to record conversations without their knowledge, which is the premise of the lawsuit. He has a huge camera and a film crew, he even carries a microphone. Sorry, not a good example.
Look at No. 4: Use the libel term when the defamation of character comes from audible media. Now, most courts consider defamation of character made during a radio or television broadcast to also be libel, even though the defamation was spoken.
Privacy laws vary with the legal jurisdiction and the answer to this is completely dependent on where you reside. But in general terms, you are not permitted to record an image or voice of an individual without their permission.

In many jurisdictions, such activities fall under copyright law. This might seem a little odd at first glance, but does make sense. A person who records your image or voice without permission and then uses it for personal gain may find themselves in trouble. They could be required to turn over all recorded material, the profits from their sale, and face a punitive fine.

"Boohoo, they caught me acting like a jackass on video and now I'm gonna sue."
Typical lib philosophy.
Eliciting information about a criminal enterprise and then immediately reporting it to the police is acting like a jackass? Really? It seems like responsible citizenry to me.

Too bad any editing cannot and never will be proven. This will end up a he said, she said thing with the video evidence on one side and nothing but hearsay on the other.

LOL. The blatant display of hypocrisy and double standards is astounding. Keep up the good work, sicko!
