I sort of agree with you. I think it's rather distasteful to take
photos of people in that situation, but I don't think it's a matter
for the law. I think it's a matter of civility and politeness and
should, in general, be dealt with by the individuals concerned.

there's no suggestion that the photographers were invaded anybody's
so-called personal space in this way. It's not at all the same
situation as the beach photography.
