Especially when we introduce morality into any equation.
EG, We generally agree that harming others is immoral.
How is watching a photo of Lawrence's boobs on the net in the privacy of your own home without having any part of its procurement immoral?
Is she slightly more miserable now that one extra person has viewed it? Was she slightly happier just before I viewed it? (assuming I did).
If the answer is no, then how exactly is it immoral (by our definition)? In a biblical thought police way? No? How then?
You guys are sounding like God fearing theists on their high horses.

Sweet. So then pedophiles who simply view pictures of children being raped---they don't steal them, don't pay for them, just view them on a site---should not be held accountable, by this logic.
The different is the way it reflects on a persons character.
One person is at least curious and at most sexually gratified by the rape of children, the other is curious about what a famous person looks nude, or at worst masturbating over it.
I personally have very little concern over the issue of theft, hacking or what consent the child has or hasn't given for people to view the images of them being raped, the concern id have is of the rape itself and people who are curious about raping children.
Being concerned over the images being hacked, consent on if the images can be used in relation to child porn is a bit like being concerned over a terrorist truck driver parking in a disabled spot before plowing into a group of people.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
