Ok, I'll reply in english.

Just a comment, isn't there some sort of "status" difference between you and the ones you potray? Unless you potray someone equally or more famous, the eyes of a public will be - on you. I'm sure that your texts are all well meant and everything, but that is not what I question.
I only wonder if you don't agree on the "fact" that if you were to write about a girl you once met, she would be potrayed without her knowledge, maybe even against her will, and -you- being a known artist, would have a bigger advantage in these types of situations. Even if they have the chance to "strike back", the damage will be already done won't it?
