The right of privacy has so far, in every reported case, been protected by the equity remedy of injunction to restrain a violation thereof. Where, however, the right has been violated and there has been no opportunity to prevent it, there must be a remedy. Every wrong must be punished. An invasion of a right of privacy would necessarily be a wrong to be legally vindicated and measured in damages. In many cases, the injury might not be tangible, as being to the feelings of the one whose rights of privacy have been invaded. Hence, it is to be expected that the damages would be small. In fact, it is altogether probable that courts would re strict recovery to nominal damages unless special damage could be proven. With relief by injunction, when the right of privacy is threatened, and nominal dam ages when it has been invaded, should not

this right of privacy become so established as to protect every private and personal rela tion of the individual? Would not such a condition be an education toward respect for each other and hence self-respect? Would it not be a wholesome curb to publicity? Would it not give a new meaning to our boasted liberties, by opening, enlarging and guarding a sphere where individuality might grow and mature, conscious of a right to be let alone? If individuality is entitled to pri vacy as a right, then it is a duty resting upnn each one of us to see that it is given. The recent Libel Act of Pennsylvania will not, however, help to define any such right of privacy. It is restrictive in its terms and as such only worthy of condemnation. It is no bill of right. New liberties or new ex pressions of same can only come from en larging declarations of government.
