Tanoomba,

You're just recycling the idiotic RIAA music/movie argument in regards to piracy.

Stealing a car isn't the same as "stealing" a digital file. He didn't take the original, he simply copied it.
I wonder how many torrents Tardnoomba has downloaded? I bet it's over 9000.

Not to mention there is no implicit right to privacy.There are no rights to privacy being infringed upon here.Right to control distribution, yes. When the individuals took the compromising photographs they basically gave away their privacy. Now it is a matter of copyright, unless viewing is innately illegal (ie CP).
Do you have a daughter? Suppose someone copied her private diary and gave it out to her entire school. Would you argue that was a matter of copyright and distribution, not a violation of her privacy?

Come on. We can enjoy JLaw's tits and still not lose all sense of objectivity.

you're right the internet itself combined with the devices all around us enables all kinds of intrusive behavior, some of the guys who work at the nsa folder of celeb nudes must be amazing.

Wait, I don't get it. Are we all supposed to form a lynch mob because the Victorian ideals of female sexuality are under attack after being told for decades to stop putting women in gilded cages? All the slut walks, public nudity, women taking control of their own sexuality modern age hook up culture type stuff. Isn't acting like this isn't a big deal what we've been told to do?

That's not even remotely the same comparison. An adult celebrity with limited right to privacy can't be compared to a minor who isn't a celebrity. And even then, the daughter would throw less of a tantrum than J-Law.

It doesn't make it 'good' or 'right' but what are you going to prosecute for? This stuff happensallthe time to 'non important' people. Secrets get told, photos get shared, lives get ruined.

Won't somebody think of poor Justin Verlander in all this?

Oh right, he probably doesn't give a fuck.

White guys are super privileged and powerful and they run everything in the world.

But they have no valuable insight to offer anyone.

An equivalent situation would be me storing a file on my computer with all the login and password information for my bank accounts, email, paypal, etc, then having my computer hacked and all my important password info stolen. People would feel bad for me, but would also add "you probably shouldn't store all your passwords in one place". VICTIM BLAMING!!!

This isn't equivalent at all. Gaining access to your funds is nothing like viewing a copy of a photograph. Further this isn't 'victim blaming', but reality. If you don't record compromising images of yourself, it's far more difficult to have them 'accidentally' distributed. I said the same thing when we had those Roethlisberger or Wiener dick pics being distributed.

It's more the limiting potential for sensitive information to be accessed and understanding that data stored on a computer or cellphone isn't secure that I'm referring to. I understand that someone finding pictures of my dick and balls is less harmful than gaining access to my bank account.

And you should be reading my "victim blaming" with a heavy dose of sarcasm and snark

Well you WERE arguing with Mist and Tanoomba for how long as if they weren't simply contrarian trolls? Don't know how much of the Kool-Aid you've drunk already.

Ha ha ha what? the Victorian ideals of female sexual are under attack, you say?

Nobody is seriously criticizing these actresses for how they choose to exercise their libidos, dude (nobody who matters, anyway). The problem is that people's private information is being stolen by hackers. Did you not get the memo? These womenhave been"taking control of their sexuality". Unfortunately that "control" has been wrestled away from them by some scummy pieces of shit who bear the entirety of the blame in this scenario.

Hypothetical: Let's say the FBI decides to level possession of child pornography charges against anyone who even downloaded an image dump that included pics of the underage gymnast. Would the same people now claiming the actresses should have known better say the same thing about the men about to get a criminal record and become registered sex offenders? After all, if you knowingly download hundreds of pictures that were illegally stolen and never approved for distribution, you have to know there's a chance there might be some sketchy photos in there, right?
