Not here to judge him, it's his privacy and I never really saw any of these photos that were allowed to publish on magazines. I just don't quite believe when he said he had deleted the photos 6 months ago unless he never use his laptop ever since (which seems unlikely from what he said). The longer you deleted a file, the more impossible you will be able to recover it. I deleted a folder few days ago, no recovery tools helped me recover that folder. Is there any IT expert who can enlighten me?
@Furirosity You can actually recover a file after it has been deleted. As long as no new files are saved over that particular segment of the hard disk. So it is possible.
What i don't understand is, why would CNN demand or rather, invite him for an interview. I know he is Canadian and known world-wide, but isn't he a Hong Kong based artist? I have only seen him play parts in some Hollywood movies, but as i recalled, it wasn't a handful lot?
I don't think it was his fault, but what I'm mad about is how he handled the situation after the scandal. He could have at least treated the women involved with a bit more respect. He just tried to run away. That is what most people are pissed off about.
@asianoutcast87 But obviously he is known as a playboy, those women knows what they are getting themselves into- he has established that they are nothing beyond one night stands. It's cruel, but that's what he established. And since both parties were on the same wave length, and they clearly agreed on it. People won't ever understand the situation unless they are in them. But Edison and those girls understood- so people shouldn't be mad or pissed.
I don't get how this is a scandal. He's a fucking asshole of a good looking guy who got TONS of ass and took pics of it. He's just stupid because he didn't remove his HD or used a data scrubber before sending his laptop for repair.
AT LEAST HE WASnT CAUGHT WITH AnOTHER GUY IF U KnOW WT I MEAn! Everyun has sex, its our way of finding out which partner would be the best to reporoduce, to concieve children and to know how theyre like so that marriage wont be short.
We must GIVE A BIG SUPPORT EDISON ,...BECAUSE OF EDISON WE CAN SEE ALL THE NAKED BODY OF THE FAMOUS ACTRESS AND ALL THE VIDEO.....AM I RIGHT GUYS,...WE MUST SUPPORT EDISON BACK ,....AND WHAT IS THE NEXT ACTRESS EDISON..?
i didnt know that eventho u have deleted yur files, somehow ppl can recover those files?? that is scaryy i believe everyone keeps secrets in personal computer right?
@4:22 ummm, just who were taking these photos exactly, wasn't it him?! i'm confused. 0_o
but anyway...
damn man, can't people give Edison a break?! the women should stop playing the victims. if they knew about it, they should own up to it. it takes two to tango, my dears. <_<
Edison doesnt seem like a bad person, he just made a mistake by perhaps uploading those photos...Everyone makes mistakes,and it seems like he really learned from it....Also, everyone is responsible in this case.....They were all willing participants in acting the way they did....Edison himself for taking the photos, the ladies that took part in it and lastly the person that decided to hack into it.....
he is such a coward. left HK and went to US, then hiding in the dark for 5 days. then after a year, he finally open his month to speak to himself to CNN? (not even a local press) coward.
@lucyuen do u think that on the heat of the scandal, people will believe what Edison Chan has to say? I think it's rational and wise to stay away and keep silent until everyone cools down and would willing to listen.
i just dont get whats the big deal here ...i mean sex it a normal thing they are normal people ...so whats the f-ing big deal if they took some R rated photo...so what !! who cares about them.....just live ur own life and move on
alot of people do this kind of thing anyways ....so just cuz they r famous its a big
deal hahaha......n why blame Edison?? what did he do that is so wrong....its not like he post up the photo himself.........if the gurls are willing to doing they have to know what they are getting themselves in...those photos are gonna get leak someday anyways...... those gurls shouldn't be upset nor angry cuz they put this upon themselves
Yes we are all human beings and sure maybe people deserve a second chance but he destroyed peoples lives/careers. Sex scandals happen a lot but this wasn't in America. In America we welcome it with open arms. In Asian countries it's no joke. They allowed him to take pictures but he should've been more careful and known better that when you are a celebrity, people will do anything to find dirt on you. Bad for him, good entertainment for us. He starts career again, the women involved lose theres.
i wasn't there when he deleted it but retrieving really old files from your hard drive even if you deleted it long ago is really possible.. i use it when i want to retrieve old softwares etc.. there's a software that specifically does that
she interviews him like a school principal or a guidance counselor.. lol honestly, i was really disappointed with him when the scandal first broke out since i was previously a fan but after the shock and a little thought, he's also a victim and probably the biggest victim of whoever was part of the scandal..
@jessiiie90 Well i am rather sure they were friends beforehand, before they took their relationship to the next level(2008). Seeing Edison is famous for being a womanizer, maybe they did a 'friends with benefit' thing before they even got together(2004 or eve earlier, depends when they actually first met each other).
I also bet he was trying to recover the files thats y the mac was sent for a "repair". after he deleted the files because his gf forced him to he secretively sent for a recovery but shit just hit the fan that's all.
guy, relax! not to be so serious. after all, it's others' private life. they've made their own decisions and bear the consequence themselves. it is a history. forget it.
After thinking for one whole year, this is what you can say to the interviewer? You should go to America for your career, you and George Bush are both great at the art of speech.
you can search for softwares which helps you to retrieve deleted files, it does not surprise me if a computer technician can retrieve photos deleted 6 months ago.
no its true..if u delete something from your computer..you can retrieve it with systems now..and to delete it completely you need to use the same system to COMPLETELY delete it
If you know how to delete and intend to do so , you will not be able to retrieve it. They can retrieve it, it is becuase he did not intend to do so or he delete it in a wrong way. The judge just cannot prove that whether he intended to delete or not. if he claim that he delete it but it is in a wrong way, it is not his fault.. you really know nothing about computer and law man...
why is he so stupid enough to take all those pictures in the first place and not store it on a safe USB drive but on laptop that has no security. Most people even saves their papers and exams on USB...this kind of photos should never be left alone on computer.
Perhaps people may argue a lot about the fact that those pics are his personal items and none of our business, but he can't possibly deny his responsiblity to take good care of those pics and shoulda prevented them from leaking. Cus he shoulda known how serious the result coulda been when the pics were leaked. There is no way to say that he is innocent or he is totally not responsible for the incident .

Honestly, watching this interview and looking at the way he speaks, it is really hard for me to believe that he is truly sorry for the things he has done.
i think EDC has done nothing worng, those photos are just his personal stuff. we should blame those people who hacked and uploaded these picture to harm them.
he didn't delete them four years later. i'm sure that he had done that somewhere between 2004-2008. and he's in a serious relationship, that's the only reason why he obeyed his girlfriend and deleted the picture. gosh!
actually i meant, by the time he had stopped taking those photographs was 4years ago and had already changed into a better person. but people still don't understand and treat him terribly. those photographs taken were still bad.
its their own life! they can do what they want! why all that ppl n paparazi get them? THEY R REALLY SWEET PAIR! I WANT THEM TO BE TOGETHER
