Hacked/leaked nude photos discussion
The Seldom Killer:
Apologies, I responded to the other thread while you modded. Was about to suggest a thread split as well.
Barmymoo:
Sor'ed, as they say in London.
GarandMarine:
Now let's not get too hasty here kids. The blame is SQUARELY on one set of collective shoulders. The hackers who over the course of what had to be a significant amount of time acquired these images, and the original distributor. While we can say that the actresses and actors in question probably should have been a bit more security minded, that doesn't make them at fault. It's certainly a smart idea when you know these scrubs will probably be after you.
Next when it comes to our theoretical passers by, let's be VERY clear. Morally reprehensible and legally culpable are very different things. No one's saying these passerby aren't morally reprehensible to some extent or another, but that doesn't and shouldn't mean they're culpable before the law. Saying it should be so is a VERY slippery slope that we really don't want to slide down.
Example, I think HuffPo's intellectual dissonance on objectification and privacy issues is down right disgusting. It's morally reprehensible in the extreme. While I wouldn't mind seeing Arianna Huffington and her organization up for some sort of charges (polluting maybe :P ) that paper being scummy is no ACTUAL reason to prosecute them or pursue them civilly. They're just assholes. In the end I'd rather err on the side of assholes being assholes without jail time then start down the road towards actual thought crime.
BeoPuppy:
If you benefit from a crime then you are part responsible for that crime, right?
I know 'benefit' is maybe a weird translation of 'acquire new pics to pleasure yourself over' ...
Orkboy:
If a rich person dies after being run over by a drunk driver, the people who inherit their money aren't at fault. Benefiting from your own crime is different from benefiting from someone else's crime.
