Well, they were supposed to be private but I think they are available for downloading at a remarkably low price on the internet.
None of it was heterosexual BTW.
This is nothing new.
It certainly is. Even if it is not new it is very different.
Curtis left his blinds open. He knew or should have known that voyeurs would or could watch and/or film his private affairs.
This young man requested privacy from his roommate and got a verbal agreement that he would not be disturbed.
Not only was his trust violated by his roommate secretly recording his most private moments without his knowledge but his private affairs were published for all the world to see with out his approval.
The college roommate thing is rarely with out some kind of friction. But with out some agreement to honor privacy it has no chance of working.
One thing that is new is the ease with which something like this can be done. An camera can be very small and easily concealed. The camera can stream video to a nearby computer by Bluetooth wireless or broadband wireless router.
Then within minutes the video can be uploaded to the internet on Youtube or any number of other video file sharing networks for all the world to see. Although everyone expects and takes their privacy for granted in all reality privacy is an archaic notion today. Technology has made it so.
