Given that one's making $$$ at LMVH and another's writing for the New York Times, I'd have an orgasm if I got treated like they do once in a while.

I mean, had this happened to me, I suspect I could manage some witty put-down if anyone dared laughing at me to my face. But, OTOH, no way I wouldn't beat the guy to a pulp. That's because it ain't funny and it is a goddamn invasion of privacy. That's not allowed. Not without my express consent. Period.

What good would it do? Sure, human rights etc,., but practically once this stuff's happened all you can do is get over it. Maybe sue the guy if you've got a chance of winning.

The point is to educate the guy who'd break my privacy. And dissuade others to do the same.

I cannot believe that you are not considering a breach of privacy as a serious offense, given your dislike of state interferences in lifestyles. A breach of privacy like that is a serious interference with people's lives.

It's different when a mugger knocks your teeth out and when a cop does.

If you beat him up you'll be that poor guy who went apeshit because his roommate filmed him doing it. If you go with it you'll be a campus sex legend. I know which one I'd prefer.
