Hacked/leaked nude photos discussion
BeoPuppy:
Really? So I can safely take possession of stolen blue ray players?
Orkboy:
There's a specific law for that.

If you abett a crime you are part responsible. So the distributors are.
The equivalent here would be a blue ray player you pick up on the side of the road.
BeoPuppy:
Even if you actively seek those pictures out?
GarandMarine:
"Dog! Free blue ray players on the side of the road, you want one?"
*shrug* like I said, this is a grey area. Hell even receipt of stolen goods is a grey area in the United States. There's a dozen or so laws that probably cover that and try to establish various types and standards of culpability.
In traditional law though, establishing a criminal act is fairly simple. In short, Person X precipitates an act with a negative effect on Person Y. Stealing their blue ray player, stealing nude photos and posting them online, whatever. So we have the "act" the conscious action against Y that X can then be held civilly or criminally liable for. So if you receive or view said photos in ANY context, we have to then make a case for criminal or civil liability. Is the damage done via the viewing of the photos? Or their theft? Both? Some further fourth condition that we really haven't considered or discussed in this group? Someone sent me on of the Kate Upton photos. I deleted it. Am I criminally liable? I received stolen goods. That's the act. It doesn't really matter what I did with the goods if that's what we want to establish as a standard. We're seeing echoes of the debate that's been going on with teenagers "sexting" and the very real fact that that is child pornography, both creation, distribution and possession.
