Forbes: Jennifer Lawrence Nude Photo Leak Isn't A 'Scandal.' It's A Sex Crime.
I sincerely hope that absolutely none of the victims involved in this current leak takes any form of “responsibility” or apologizes for anything. The victims involved have committed no crime and committed no sin by creating said photos in the first place or in “allowing” them to be stolen. What occurred yesterday is a theft and a crime, plain and simple. It is a personal violation of a prurient nature, with photos of an explicit nature that were intended for private or personal use now unleashed online for anyone to see, for free no less. ...
Ya know what would be awesome? For some of those truly draconian copyright laws to get used in this case...
