I've never really understood the mentality of people who release nude pics of their exes.

people do lots of irrational and emotional shite after breakups. it's one reason i'm getting out of domestic law for a bit

All I really get from that is the person getting "revenge" is a d-bag that isn't to be trusted.


and i wouldn't do it. but just b/c people do shite i don't agree with doesn't mean it rises to the level of a crime

In general I agree with you about the scary laws that come from overreaction to the crisis of the week, but if this were a professional arrangement there'd be a legal document stating the photographer's rights to use the pictures he takes of model, no? And if a couple were to actually go through the process of making a similar legally binding document, it's reasonable to assume that the usage the model consents to is personal rather than public use, no? Classifying it as domestic violence is crazy, but if the picture causes actual damage, I don't think it's crazy to think the photo releaser exceeded the implied usage agreement and could be sued for damages.

Agree to an extent. If it causes a person his/her job then I think the person who released them without their consent should be held responsible.

Well, you know why it is a crime, and it has everything to do with the class this law is designed to protect.

i think that's just a clarification of IP rights. i don't think it's truly necessary to establish basic property rights

*ETA: that's also primarily for OTHER parties claiming ownership

what about a geauxjudge situation, where online postings affect your personal life?

where does the line of personal responsibility get established?

Then why do TV shows blur the faces of people that didn't sign consent forms?

The context is key. Professional arrangement versus relationships

those people didn't consent to have their image distributed. it's also a big CYA scenario. IP is crazy

you can't make the same argument for a picture you willingly took yourself and sent out to others, or for a professional setting where you volunteer to have your pictures taken

i am no IP expert, but they are clearly different scenarios

Apparently the way the laws are now, if the chick takes the pic herself and sends it to someone, its legal for them to post it. If someone else takes it it's not. This may settle the professional arrangement argument and having consent forms and such. it is because the photographer, not the model is taking the pics. Still think they should have laws against it.

Right at the point where a reasonable person could assume that the content (postings, pictures, etc) is for public consumption.

behavior has consequences. sometimes behavior in your private life affects your professional life. that's not a complex, or hidden, concept

why?

if you send me an email, and i forward that email, is THAT a crime?

so it should be a crime to re-send ANY sort of information that can reasonably construed as "non-public"?
