In reply to the discussion: 'Revenge porn' outlawed in California [View all]rrneck
(17,671 posts)93. There's a gigantic difference
between photographing a model in a pre arranged setting and a snapshot with a camera phone.
When I taught figure drawing cameras of any kind were verboten.
The issue is not the existence of the images, but their distribution. The onus should be on the distributors. If some woman finds her image is making somebody else money, she deserves a cut of the profits. That's what releases are for, not for policing interpersonal integrity.
If you want to market porn, produce your own content. Don't profit off other peoples freebies.
