Catsouras-Porsche-Girl-Crash-Photos.html
This is a story about a photo—an image so horrific we can't
print it in NEWSWEEK. The picture shows the lifeless body of an
18-year-old Orange County girl named Nikki Catsouras, who was
killed in a devastating car crash on Halloween day in 2006. The
accident was so gruesome the coroner wouldn't allow her parents,
Christos and Lesli Catsouras, to identify their daughter's body.
But because of two California Highway Patrol officers, a digital
camera and e-mail users' easy access to the "Forward" button,
there are now nine photos of the accident scene, taken just
moments after Nikki's death, circulating virally on the Web. In
one, her nearly decapitated head is drooping out the shattered
window of her father's Porsche.
The Web is full of dark images, so perhaps the urge to post
these tragic pictures isn't surprising. But for the Catsouras
family, the photos are a daily torment. Just days after Nikki's
death, her father, a local real-estate agent, clicked open an e-
mail that appeared to be a property listing. Onto his screen
popped his daughter's bloodied face, captioned with the words
"Woohoo Daddy! Hey daddy, I'm still alive." Nikki's
sisters—Danielle, 18, Christiana, 16, and Kira, 10—have managed
to avoid the photos, but live in fear that they'll happen upon
them. And so the Catsourases are spending thousands in legal
fees in an attempt to stop strangers from displaying the grisly
images—an effort that has transformed Nikki's death into a case
about privacy, cyber-harassment and image control.
The Catsourases are by no means the first to suffer at the hands
of cyber-aggressors. But their story is unique in that it
touches on so many of the ways the Web has become perverted: as
an outlet for morbid curiosities, a space where cruel behavior
suffers little consequence and an uncontrollable forum in which
things that were once private—like photos of the dead—can go
public in an instant. The case also illustrates how the law has
struggled to define how legal concepts like privacy and
defamation are translated into an online world.

Trevor Gowe Oh really. I'm not the one who reared a coke addled
clown and gave her the keys to my porsche. It's the photos of
the dead kid which are the problem though, not the parents.

you would think that the police own the intellectual property to
these photos and could have them removed that way.

I'm not an attorney. And I do not even play one on TV. But I
think the term "Public Servants" probably negates intellectual
property on some levels. Some of those beautiful/terrifying
photos that came from the Yosemite Rim fire in 2013 are an
example. And not one firefighter who snapped them was able to
make money off the deal.

The problem is how difficult it is to remove any kind of image
from the internet once it's been released, even with copyright.
People keep these things on their hard drives, circulate them in
out of the way sites for shock value. Even if you could track
down every instance of these images being posted publicly,
there'd still be the private copies people hold on their own
PCs. What's truly disgusting to me is why anyone would want to
hold on to this shit. I find it disheartening how cruel and sick
some people can be.

Since when can one simply "remove" anything from the web? Sorry
but that is simplistic and naive.

I am sorry for their loss. I saw most of these pics and they
were sickening. they should NEVER been put on the net. someone
left the keys where she could get them and decided to go for a
joy ride. I have seen reports where these cars are unstable at
high speeds and may have contributed to the accident along with
the cocaine. not the first time I have seen cars smashed like
this one. a 16yo was going so fast that she over corrected a
couple times and clipped the tops of trees 30' up. was ejected
and the car came down on top of her. there was only one place
left on the car that said "turbo fiero" that wasn't torn to
shreds.

You say you saw "most" of these pictures. Giving you the benefit
of the doubt that you may have come across them accidentally,
why did you keep looking until you saw most. Apparently they
were not sickening enough for you to stop looking. I agree that
they should never have been put on the net but that does not
excuse or explain why people continue to look.

Kenneth Nielsen I don't remember if I found them surfing or
someone sent them to me, but the first several pics were of a
smashed car which is no big deal. but when the first pic of a
bloody and nearly in pieces body came up that was all I wanted
to see. a smashed car is no big deal like the one that is
wrapped around a piece of rr equipment just outside of poplar
bluff. the plaque said it was a reminder to look both ways
before getting on tracks and that 4 young people lost their
lives in that wreck. no blood, no gore, just a mangled car.

The problem, Kenneth, isn't people looking at these pictures.
It's that the family may come across them... or have some troll
***hole send them to them.
