Recasting Privacy Torts in a Spaceless World‪.‬

I. INTRODUCTION Consider the following three scenarios: First, James, an otherwise upstanding citizen, got uncharacteristically drunk at an office party. His drunken behavior, witnessed by all, quickly became fuel for the office rumor mill. Second, imagine that, instead of at the office party, James got very drunk with total strangers at a foreign airport bar and later confessed his drunken shenanigans to Pete, a loose-lipped friend. Upon Pete's disclosure, stories of James's rowdy night soon spread. Finally, imagine that after a hard day, James drank heavily while alone in his bedroom. His neighbor, Sandra, observed his activities through the window of her home and then publicized his solitary intoxication to the world.
