Whilst I still disagree with your post, I can at least admire a bit of style in how you reply.
At the risk of sounding overly patronising (I don't mean to be- well not on this occasion anyway!) peace to you too dude..

We can debate whether or not Helen is a psychopath until the cows come home.
That's neither here nor there, in the grand scheme.
However, the result of the super injunction case surrounding Woods, indeed were very dangerous for the concept of a "free" press or as free as it can be, all stemming from Wood's inability to keep her mouth shut in the press about her past.
Those two injunctions, the men involved are freely researchable on the internet, gave a level of gagging power which had hitherto never been seen by non Royalty or matters of National security and it is serious and it is dangerous. As that precedent can now be used by anyone enjoying an equal level of money or power.
Wholly blaming Woods is unfair, I admit that, the men involved were equally to blame, though likewise had Woods not maintained such a high media profile following Rooney it probably wouldn't have happened. Probably not definitely.
I don't hate Woods, I think she's a terribly vulnerable, self loathing and unhappy woman who deserves pity. Also you can see her palpable terror about being discovered by her housemates for what she was once they leave the house.
But as with talking to tabloids, television and radio about her escort career, she chose to go in there. Ostensibly to change people's perceptions of her, in which case she's done just that. I actually quite admired her candour before she went into the house, now I think she's pretty loathsome.
