  • On 14 May 2014, the Oberlandesgericht Karlsruhe (Karlsruhe Appeal Court - OLG) ruled, in a decision yet to be published in full, that the Bild newspaper, by publishing a photograph of a famous footballer in which a woman appeared by chance in the background, infringed the woman�s own image rights under Article 22 of the Kunsturhebergesetz (Art Copyright Act - KUG) and, at the same time, breached her general right to privacy under Article 823(1) of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (Civil Code - BGB).
