“窃照片不是偷照片”——两份娱乐杂志《OK!》和《HELLO!》为迈克尔-道格拉斯和凯瑟琳-泽塔-琼斯结婚照的版权官司打得头破血流……

The ongoing¹ court battle between rival magazines OK! and HELLO! over ownership of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones' wedding photographs is to be taken to the highest court in Britain.
 
In May, Hello! magazine bosses won their appeal against last year's High Court judgement that ordered the glossy² to pay OK! $1.9 million in damages for unauthorized pictures of the stars' 2000 wedding.

The magazine's chiefs confessed they used the photos to spoil OK!'s exclusive coverage³ of the wedding, but argued "spoilers" are a common practice in the media industry.

OK! magazine was ordered in May to repay more than $3.8 million worth of damages and costs it received from Hello!. However, following a petition from OK! and the Hollywood couple, the case will now be heard at the House Of Lords in London.

Last year, Douglas and Zeta-Jones were awarded $27,738 in damages from Hello! magazine, after a judge ruled the publication had breached⁴ the Traffic stars' rights of confidence.
