LOS ANGELES (AP) - October 13, 2009
A statement from the governor's office says the former
"Terminator" star had signed a number of bills, including the
amendment to a decade-old law that allows fines against paparazzi
who illegally or offensively take photos or recordings.
The amendment permits lawsuits against media outlets that pay
for and make first use of material they knew was improperly
obtained.
Tabloid magazines, TV shows and Internet sites sometimes pay
millions of dollars for celebrity fodder.
The amendment takes effect in January.
