It was not Edison Chen 's Fault

Edison Chen is a victim of this case. Why did he need to apologize? He did not release the photos. It's not illegal to take them as well. However, the people like Kira who uploaded them are those who are guilty. Why is HK placing so much hatred on Edison Chen and nowhere do we see as much hatred on people like Kira. Does this prove that HK society is messed up?

Edison is as much a victim as the female stars involved. They might be accountable for their public behaviours, (because of they are celebrities) but they are definitely not accountable for their (legal) private behaviours to anyone. Is having sex with your girlfriends or dates a crime? So he happens to be popular with girls, is that a crime? So he likes to keep pictures of their sex lives, is that wrong? We have to understand that just because so many girls sleep with him doesn't make him a bad person. The girls themselves were not forced to sleep with him. Even if Edison is the playboy type who date so many girls, perhaps at the same time, is that really our business?

Besides, who is to say that the girls themselves are not also dating more than one person, or I'm sure most of them have had their fair share of boyfriends, no less than Edison.
Remember, Their privacy got invaded because someone stole these pictures and uploaded them for the world to see, and suddenly it became everybody's business. Let's not forget that we're looking at stolen pictures.

In any case, it's their misfortune that their private lives got stolen and uploaded. Those who stole and uploaded them are ultimately the ones to blame, and the only ones to blame. The power of the media and general human curiousity didn't help of course. Most of the HK citizens who are complaining are also responsible for driving what has been a non-stop one month front page media coverage of all of this which is making the whole thing worse than it really is every single day. I feel sad that Edison and Gillian have to apologize because I agree, they did not do anything wrong.
