Why aren't the paparazzi considered stalkers?

If a man follows a woman around taking secret pictures of her all day, he is called a stalker and is often arrested and given a restraining order. If the woman is famous, he is called a paparazzo and he often makes a lucrative living. Why is this?

    well, first of all, almost all celebs know that paparazzi are following them around taking pictures of them. if they're famous enough, they learn not to care. second of all, stalking someone just benefits you. paparazzi are journalists and they do publish their photos. see?
