Jennifer Lawrence Nude Photo Leak Isn't A 'Scandal.' It's A Sex Crime.
"In short, we emphasize how women can prevent being assaulted instead of telling men and boys not to assault women in the first place. Instead of condemning those who would steal the private photographs and publish them online for all to see, we condemn or belittle the women who chose to create said private photographs in the first place."

Scandal or Crime?
Owner of the photographs responsible or leaker responsible?

Personally I can't believe the number of people that claim it's the owner of the photographs fault for taking them in the 1st place. They have a right to privacy.
 
Those who own the photograph do have a right to privacy. They also have a responsibility to to take reasonable actions to maintain that privacy. Putting that stuff on the internet and expecting it to remain private IS NOT reasonable.

How many celebrity "hacks" will have to happen before people figure out that hanging your personal laundry in the middle of a freeway isn't a particularly good idea? Hell, between the people that "leak" their own stuff, the fakes and the idiots who just can't figure it all out I can't believe that someone would actually believe that anything is going to be "private" on the internet for very long.
 
Mostly those that hacked it and leaked it.

Partly her for being so staggeringly naive as to put nude photos of herself in the Cloud.


NEVER put anything in the Cloud you are not prepared for EVERYONE to eventually see.
 
Does someone have a link to the pics?
 
We have privacy rights in this country, even a person poor personal choices,
should be kept private, unless permission is granted for it's release.

I'll remember to tell that to tell the next person who robs me...

'You know...we have rights in this country. And you should not be taking my money...'

I am guessing it won't stop them from taking my dough...but, I'll give it a whirl.

:)


Being right does not always mean being safe. Otherwise, we would not need locks on our doors.
 
Missing the option Apple responsible, because they are.
 
From the article it appears the photos were stolen. In that case 100% responsibility for the crime on the thief. Blaming the women is the equivalent of blaming a homeowner for theft because he left his door open. An open door is not an invitation to come in steal.

It's a crime, and the hacker is responsible. While having the photo's on your phone or in a place that can be hacked is naive and stupid, it is not a crime. They have the right to privacy, but an intelligent responsible person would know that they would be a target and take precautions to protect themselves.

There are steps people can take to reduce the chance that they are victims. They shouldn't have to, but that's not realistic.

But the question is are you responsible for being robbed because you were carrying the money? Most would say no but also condemn these people fr having their private pictures.

Yeah, and if you don't want your money stolen why would you put it in a bank?

Supposedly, the photos got "pushed" into the cloud when their phones had reached memory capacity, or something like that. They didn't actively put them there.

For whatever that's worth.
 
The question was who is responsible for the leaked photos. The answer to that question is simple. It's the person who took the photo's fault. Nowadays you have to think the following, "If I post or save this photo or whatever to the internet it could be leaked through hackers." With that being said I understand that hacking is a crime and I think whoever leaked the photos should be charged but that doesn't mean they were responsible for the photos. If she would have just left them on her camera or phone or whatever she probably wouldn't be in the situation she now finds herself. That's like blaming the teacher for the students bad grades. She needs to be more careful as well as all of us do.
 
hell yes it's a crime.
 
Does someone have a link to the pics?

I'd be willing to bet that if you checked out Pirate Bay or something you can probably find a torrent.

I've seen a few pics that are supposed to be from the hack but, frankly, I don't even know who most of these people are so for all I know they're just random people that someone slapped a name tag on.

I see your point but as previously mentioned leaving the door open is not an invitation to come in and steal. That is like blaming Yale because their locks can be picked.

the person that hacked into a private account to steal the photo is at fault. It isn't open to debate. those that said otherwise are morally bankrupt

From what I heard, they didn't necessarily purposely put their photos on the internet. Being ignorant of how Apple's iCloud works they took naked photos and their software automatically uploads them to the Cloud, where hackers had access to it. If someone takes nude photos with other software it's not going to be accessible by others.



On an iOS 7 device

Go to Settings, tap iCloud, tap Photos, then turn on My Photo Stream.

With My Photo Stream turned on, new photos taken with your iOS device are uploaded to iCloud when your device is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi. The new photos appear automatically in My Photo Stream on your other devices set up with My Photo Stream, including your Mac and Windows computers and your Apple TV.

iCloud: Set up My Photo Stream

You have to take human nature into account.

Sure, legally and ethically....the thief was responsible.

But she is also indirectly responsible by making her photos available.

Those photos could not have been stolen from the Cloud had she not put them there.

So, like it or not, she is partially responsible.


'responsibility

[ri-spon-suh-bil-i-tee]
noun, plural responsibilities.
1.
the state or fact of being responsible, answerable, or accountable for something within one's power, control, or management.'

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/responsibility


She had it in her power to avoid this whole thing by simply (IMO) using common sense and not putting those photos in the cloud in the first place.
Thus, she was technically responsible - to a small extent - for those photos being stolen.


I am not going to debate this over and over....it's not REMOTELY important enough to me.

You don't agree with me...fine.


Good day.

My thoughts exactly. Where the hell are these leaked photos at? I want to see some nude pictures of my favorite female celebs.

Personally I can't believe the number of people that claim it's the owner of the photographs fault for taking them in the 1st place. They have a right to privacy.

First, the poll should allow for multiple options. It's the idiots fault for taking the photos in the first place and keeping them insecurely, the equivalent in the real world of leaving them lying around the house. It's the hackers fault for committing the crime of hacking the cloud and reposting them.

So here is a question for you. My friends house was broken into and they picked the keys up off the kitchen counter and also took his car. Is he responsible for them stealing his car because he left the keys on the counter?

This is pretty much a common response in the modern day of the internet regardless of whose pictures are being leaked out, male or female. That whole "don't put anything online that you don't want someone else to see".

Taking the pictures doesn't mean they SHOULD be leaked and doesn't mitigate the blame that lies on the hands of those who hacked these celebs. But having a lack of sympathy for people who put items on the net and then have those items exposed has a LONG history that crosses gender lines.

Criminally the person performing the hack is in the wrong. Morally, the person performing hte hack is in the wrong. But no, I'm not going to ignore the long standing notion that I and most others I'm sure have heard all our lives while growing up in the internet age...when you put things on the internet you always run the risk of someone finding it. Doesn't make them right when they do, but it also reduces my level of sympathy to a certain degree whenever something like this happens.
