Has it been cited as precedent? On the one hand, I can understand the temptation to read the directive this way: an otherwise non-public person's private details being made relatively accessible. But on the other, this would seem to encompass too much behavior the privacy directive was not aimed at curtailing. But, then again, it is drafted SO broadly. Also, the result was really just a slap on the wrist ~$600, why would anyone want to pursue that claim that far? Err… that’s a horrible decision. Has it been cited as precedent?
