Abstract: One commentator recently stated that " [t]he long search for a 'definition' of 'privacy' has produced a continuing debate that is often sterile and, ultimately, futile."Wacks, The Poverty of 'rivay, " 96 LAw Q. REV.73, 75 (1980).Since the original Warren-Brandeis effort to define privacy, numerous writers have tried to define the term.Prosser divided the right of privacy into at least four distinct interests.See Prosser, .wpranote 8, at 389; see also RESTATE-MENT (SECOND) OF TORTS § 652A (adopting Prosser's formulation).In contrast, Bloustein argued that a unitary interest in the preservation of human dignity underlies all privacy law.See Bloustein, Pivay as an Aspect of Human Digniy: An Answer to Dean Prosser, 39 N.Y.
