but the issue is that this private information, because it is nude photographs, is somehow different than credit card numbers or medical files. I don't think it is. People have a right to photograph or video themselves in private moments, nude or not, covered in DNA or not, whatever... and they have a right to expect that this information remains private, even when stored on public computer networks, if said storage and networks make a claim of privacy (and they ALL say "SECURE" someplace in the advertisement).

That someone stole them does not somehow make them public domain.
