Why is it a crime? She posed and gave the pictures to him of her own free will. Trashy behavior always has a price, but SHE should pay it.

My question: Why should taxpayers pay for the cops/courts to clean up her mess?

This is horrible and should serve as a warning to anyone sharing intimate pictures digitally.

Not to worry. The bad guys know how to use scanners.

As Dr. Laura found out. The pics were taken in the seventies, well before the era of ubiquitous digital photography, not long after the NSA was still deorbiting capsules containing spy satellite film to be developed on the ground.

Hold up a sec - I’m speaking very specifically about my friends who have pictures of me in my bathing suit on their Facebook page and have it there without my written or expressed consent. I specifically did not want that to be posted on the web, however, I did not put that in writing.

Quite literally, there is no difference. Can I sue them and do they owe me money? ;)

(I am aware of FB’s lack of privacy once someone POSTS a picture and I’ve never had a FB account.)

Everyone agrees that what was done is socially wrong - horrible - BUT was it illegal? “By the law” this may not be illegal. We’re talking “provable in court.”

Now, what contract did he break? She may have sent him a copy of a digital file with the understanding that her boyfriend is a decent man and will conform to the social mores that she conforms to, but clearly this guy has a different set of morals and, in turn, a different understanding of the supposed unspoken, unwritten contract. In his version of the unspoken contract he has permission to post the file any place he chooses.

If she sent him the digital file for his personal use then he has full usage rights unless she copyrights the image. Just like my friends on FB.

However, if he attempts to make money on the image then I believe that there is already origination law on “art” and the woman is entitled to a portion of the monies made, or all monies made, but anything else would have to be argued as damages, etc, in court. Once again - she “gifted” that image to the man without a usage contract in writing.

So, was it illegal and can I now make tons of money off of my buddies from FB whom are using my image without permission? I’m not sure.

I guess it all comes down to who owns a digital file that was “given” to someone without a usage contract. Usually gifts are owned by the receiver. So, he owns that copy of the digital file and can use it however he likes.

Or not. I could be full of it. Crappy dude though.

The morale of this story is: IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO.

“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.”

Huh? I call it immorality and you accuse me of being immoral?

Wow! That is a stretch! ;-)

The woman has repented of her foolishness, and seeks to prevent further spread of immorality in the public square.

You have made it clear you oppose her efforts on the basis of her earlier transgressions.

Absolutely I call you immoral.

Under your Pharisaical standards there is zero room for King David or the Apostle Paul, both of whom were orders of magnitude more immoral than merely giving a boyfriend a salacious picture.

I suppose you might he considered moral by other Muslims if you are following Islam. But under Judaism or Christianity repentance and restoration are moral principles whether you like it or not.

There is none perfect.

No, not one.

So, all that is left is should it be allowed to spread naked pictures of people all over? I say it is not. The woman says it is not. We have you on record for supporting the position that it is not okay to oppose the spreading of naked images if someone ever spread one around of you. Ergot, you are against opposing the naked pictures while claiming not to be for them.

Passive aggressive you are.
Self righteous you are.
Moral, you are not. Unless its Islamic morality.

If a girlfriend tries to take a nekkid picture of me, I’ll break her camera AND the memory card. Sure, she’ll dump me, but good riddance.

“So, all that is left is should it be allowed to spread naked pictures of people all over? I say it is not. The woman says it is not.”

I agree with both of you. It is not OK to spread naked pictures of people all over! ;-)

I think that where we disagree is the fact that she is now trying to ‘cash-in’. She has started a ‘non-profit’ organization to combat the illegal and unauthorized posting of naked pictures on the internet. I agree with that portion of her ‘crusade’.

However, ‘Non-profit’ = She does not have to report the ‘earnings’ to anyone and gets to pocket all of the ‘cash’ that is not used to combat the evil of posting illegal and unauthorized photographs on the internet. ;-)

Is not that a parallel to politicians seeking candidacy getting $1 million in donations but spending only $500, 000? Where does the other $500, 000 go?
