So, we can agree to disagree on the "willingness" thing. But, in one case I have been reading about in the Guardian, involving some chick called Imogen Thomas, the issue has nothing to do with willingly seeking publicity and notoriety, and a lot to do with blackmail. Blackmail, I believe, is still a crime in the UK.
