OK, to anyone who thinks the people who had their nude photos stolen, shouldn't have posted them....

150. not at all. I have nothing against nudity. Even voluntary public nudity.

No one can argue this was a consensual release, right?

But in the day of NSA and cell phones, I question the need to voluntarily digitize your personal photos and put them where they can get stolen or perused so easily. Sure, they should be protected by Apple. But like I said, why trust your naked ass to Apple? When I send a sexy photo of myself, it's a personal thing and I wouldn't even trust it to the US mails. Hand to hand, so to speak.

But you're right, that's just me. It seems to be a generational thing to take sexy photos on your cell phone and send them around. I don't care, do it, but it seems dangerous, and a voluntary surrender of your right to control the photo, since it can be stolen. Obviously it can be stolen, despite Apple security, so we know that now. Do you want a thief to be able to have THAT? or even Apple, for that matter.

Will you still volunteer to put your naked ass on a connected Apple device? In that case, the mere existence of the photo on digital media is to volunteer to put your ass in public. They have a right to complain, but only to Apple. Read the disclaimer, it goes on forever, but they own the images on that phone. Not you.

Ordinarily these people get paid huge sums to show the ass and boobs. Maybe that's the real issue here, especially among the lawyers. Oh, now THAT's unkind.
