Lawyers for Brad Pitt threatened legal action against anyone publishing recent photographs taken by paparazzi of the actor and his family at their French estate.
Pictures of the Pitt-Jolie family in France were snapped using a powerful telephoto lens and sold to an anonymous buyer. According to Pitt's lawyer, Yael Holtkamp, the taking of the photos was a "malicious violation" of the actor's privacy rights under both French and California law. Several celebrity Web sites that had links to the pictures had removed them by late on Thursday.
Pitt and Jolie have reportedly sold pictures of their newborn twins to a U.S. publication for $11 million. The money is intended to go to charity.

And it gets worse - now the paparazzi are invading their privacy by invading the grounds of their home decked out in camo like Army Rangers.-
