Companies won't be willing to take down pictures which are bringing in traffic, besides that probably goes against their policy. Then what? We could lecture people enough times to make them feel guilty about looking at these naked pictures..
But that wasn't the comparison that I was making. I was saying the idea that "the woman who has had her nudes stolen will not have any change in happiness or comfort by the act of me viewing the pictures" is a shitty one.
I am not saying there is a solution, there probably isn't a pragmatic solution to any problem on the internet. I am merely countering that thought process.
We punish child pornography viewers because the very act of them following/purchasing/downloading/viewing pictures creates a demand for more. It's even more of a direct cause and effect for stolen/hacked nudes, because people can and do talk about it openly and proudly. TMZ/Gawker purchases them for hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Would it be morally ok to view them? Or will you consider it theft of property? And hence immoral for a different reason? (even though you can readily watch porn vids of the same actress for free on other sites? (I use the term actress loosely)
It would not be morally okay to view the stolen pics of a famous porn star.
Her movies are produced for public consumption, her personal pics are not.

I agree Beccs. So the definition of an immoral act needs to also include some sort of internal self policing mechanism.?
Is it immoral for most of America to wish Trump accidentally walked in front of a bus!
What about the ultimate immorality of killing thousands of innocent people by calling it collateral damage?

We're veering off topic here but I just wanted to comment on that part. To be honest, I've always considered that par for the course if you're pursuing a career in politics.
You want to be a politician? You have peoples' living conditions, livelihoods and even their very lives themselves at your whim and mercy. If you fuck things up, don't be shocked at less than civil attitudes towards you. It's not a career for the thin-skinned.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

No one is truly innocent.
What we need to do is determine the level of their guilt.

Thanks for that. Nice Beaver.

I thought they had all gotten taken down by her legal team?

No idea.
This isn't something I've been tracking.

For the same reason they can't stop piracy in general.
For the same reason big corporate VPN providers advertise "no logs" policy! The sacred greenback trumps all morality sadly.
For big corp, morality is a minor technical issue easily expunged via a miriad of legal loopholes.

Oh. I know I read somewhere that her legal team was going to go through and get rid of them, so I assumed they weren't out there anymore.
Now I feel bad for having started this thread and brought attention to this....
