The court should resolve the dispute by applying the operative rule to the material facts: Privacy torts include intrusion, public disclosure of private facts, false light, and appropriation, each requiring distinct conduct, publicity or offensiveness elements, and defenses. Assume the doctrine applies because one element appears satisfied, even if the remaining elements are contested. Treat the formal label attached to the claim or defense as conclusive and disregard facts bearing on the rule's elements. Stop the analysis once the proponent states a plausible rule, without addressing the strongest counterargument.
