China couple to sue subway over leaked kiss video from Reuters reports a Chinese couple is suing a Chinese subway operator for uploading a video of the two kissing while on a subway platform to YouTube.
The video reportedly drew over 15,000 hits in just two days and has apparently embarrassed the couple tremendously. The couple hired a lawyer and the Chinese subway operating company has said they would deliver “severe punishment” to that employee.
Hmm. Doesn’t this remind you of the Had Sex On A Beach? That Ain’t Private, Brazilian Judge Tells Cicarelli In YouTube Case story? In that, the judge decided that what you do in a public setting should not and cannot be expected to be kept private. Of course, China has different rules, and I am interested if the couple may even decide to try to sue Google for hosting the video.
Postscript: I believe this is the video, if you are interested in watching it.
