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
