I still think that the Mannie incident and this new incident have no relation and shouldn't be compared as being the same at all. Mannie wanted the photobook to be sold, it was said it would be sold every since the beginning, he himself advertised it. Mannie and Leslie had agreed on that, we wasn't fooled, Leslie had the rights to go sell the photobook wherever he wanted to. The dancers, on the other hand, wanted it to be kept private and for Ayu only (or that's what we were told, and I don't feel like saying people are lying about it). It's two very different things to sell your "gift" publicly and to keep the gift just for the person it is intended to, the impressions these two things transmit are completely different.
If that's the case, then Leslie didn't have the right to publish the pictures of the dancers (though why Peco knew about the exhibition beforehand, I have no idea, maybe Leslie did let them know afterwards that the pictures were going to be displayed and that's when they all realized they were fooled, and Peco on the other hand liked the idea and went there, but I don't know, it's enough speculation already). And if they trusted Leslie as a friend, then I don't see why they should have realized he would use the pictures differently then what he told them. It may have been be naive of them to do so, but you can't blame them for trusting someone they considered to be their friend. That's my opinion about it.
