As a kid of the 60’s, the guys in my high school went to those booths where you get 4 pix for a dollar and took pictures of themselves, doing what some guys do and passed them around school.
Or were with girls, well, doing ‘stuff’ and passed them around, ok not the internet but that was the tech at the time.
Most people at school, just that’s stupid and tossed the pix in the trash.
I do not remember any guy or gal calling attention to themselves by how offended they were and told everyone why they were offended in detail.
Yep common decency is not as common as it once was. I’m sure her mindset at the time was probably simply trying to please her boyfriend. That is where things have went off the tracks people don’t even think about doing the right thing and many women in particular have been led to believe that they have to do this kind of thing to keep bfs happy. It is largely the result of the sexual “progressive” movement.
“She didn’t consent to have her pictures put up on the web. He either needs to make restitution, or he needs to go to jail.”
That argument won’t hold up, I think, or someone better shut down Facebook, faaaast.
For argument’s sake (still thinking about the legal issues on this; morally it’s a no-brainer - wrong): She gave to him a digital file specifically for his possession, i.e. ownership. That makes the photo his property with all usage rights unless otherwise noted. In this case the exemption was “understood”, but not specifically written and agreed upon.
He’s a dick, but it may not be illegal (assuming she’s over 18).
And the problem is “purposely”. Most people run Windows, which SHIPS buggy and insecure. And is easily subverted, much less people being social engineered via email, and the computer zombified and under effective control of someone at an unknown remote location.
And there’s more than enough de-facto spyware even in common apps. . . I’ve had to remove, for example, the DropBox application, simply because it tried to slurp every file on any removable media I attach to the home box. . . .
I had the same thought, but I can't figure out what that option might be. I'm sure there is something simple that would have prevented this.
Yep.
How do we know only one boy had access to the pictures?
Not taking naked pictures of yourself masturbating?
This was a private exchange between adults. He violated the implied consent for private use and made it public.
Under current law, which is a friggin' mess, this may not have been illegal. By my measure, it violates "non-initiation of force, fraud, or theft" on both the fraud and theft parts. He broke contract and if he received financial gain from misusing her likeness, then this could be construed as theft as well.
My dos centavos only as I am not a lawyer. :-)
What happened to the brown paper bag?
Tuesday, the day after a judge denied her injunction request and okayed the posting of nude pics of her 28-year-old self on a porno Website, the normally outspoken Dr. Laura made her first public comments about the shots, addressing her "acute embarrassment" over the photos, dissing the man who snapped them and letting listeners know she has undergone "profound changes" in the years since.In a statement read on her hugely popular syndicated show and later posted on her Website, Dr. Laura first thanked fans for their support. "Many letters and faxes generously say how grateful you are that some of your own past actions are buried in merciful oblivion and will never come to light. Would that I could say the same!"
She then explained how she followed her own "moral authority" in her twenties and "the inadequacy of that way of life is painfully obvious today."
As any diehard Dr. Laura buff can tell you, she eventually gave up her atheistic ways and became an Orthodox Jew.
Kind of like that Edwin Meese guy during the Reagan administration.
Making a living off of porn by seeking to get rid of it.
You are so smart! Millions of girls have not thought to try that idea, but I’ll bet it would work.
I think they’re both sick. What makes someone want to send pictures of theselves naked to anyone? The thought is repellent to me. I wouldn’t have anything to do with either of them.
It seems to me that several posters on this thread are dancing around the main issue: Immorality is immorality, period.
It seems that she suffered the consequences of her own immorality and is at this point in time trying to cash-in on her own immorality.
While what she did was stupid, that ex boyfriend of hers is a real piece of trash and no different than a stalker. If this happened to one of my family members, the other guy would probably get an Irish knee-capping if the pics weren't destroyed immediately.
gHow do you know it was him? She says he's the only one she ever sent pictures to...what do you want to bet he shared them with his buddies? She's an idiot and a pervert. I find it very hard to feel sympathy for her. Both of them are creeps and sleazeballs. Sending a a video of yourself masturbating is simply disgusting. I can't relate with the need or desire to do that at all. If my wife had ever sent me something like that when we were dating that would have been the last correspondence we ever had and vice versa.
It seems to you personally that she is trying to cash in on her immorality.
It seems to others that she is trying to prevent future immorality on the part of others.
I guess how you choose to see this is entirely related to whether you desire to see more free porn on the internet or less. If you don’t want your freebies cut off the of course she is an awful hypocrite.
So true... even educated women who know better do stupid things... look at who was in her support group... one day at a family bbq, when that movie about Frankie Lymon, Why Do Fools Fall in Love?, came out, we all shared some of the foolish things we had done because we were or thought we were in love... most of what was shared wss down right silly...
