viewing stolen nude photos

[Brian37]

For me, it's simple:

If I leave my house unlocked, that doesn't mean it's okay to rob me.
If I leave my car unlocked, that doesn't mean it's okay to steal my stereo.
If I drop my wallet, that doesn't mean it's okay to steal my cash and credit cards.
If someone is looking fine, that doesn't give me permission to rape them (not that I would entertain such an idea anyway).
And if I take nudes and save them to private cloud storage, that doesn't give someone else permission to hack into that account, steal them, and disseminate them.

These aren't complicated concepts.  They should be uncontroversial.  Coulda, woulda, shoulda may be worthwhile in terms of solidifying one's survival skills because assholes abound, but that's a separate discussion that doesn't change the morality of the acts in question.

And for the record, if I know ahead of time that certain pictures were stolen, then no, I wouldn't look at them.  Consent is very important to me, and knowingly looking at someone's stolen private moments is a violation, and I won't be a party to that if I can help it.

And this is why society makes laws. Not everyone plays by the rules, or at least not my rules.

In theory I agree with you 100%. In reality absolutely consent matters. 

But on the web in our age of mass communication it is virtually impossible to scrub it all out after it gets out. You would literally be filling up the prisons with viewers whom might even not know the video was not consensual unless there is a mass report of it being illegal. 

I'm being pragmatic and realistic. Yes go after the criminal who started it, and sure, if it is widely known go after the websites that post it. Going after the viewers is far more complicated. 

But nobody in any case should ever blame the victim.
