These actresses should just do nudity in movies like Eva Green so it would not be a big deal. Mind you Eva Green was hot in Sin City.
As they say in Hollywood, 'Any publicity is good publicity' and 'If they're not talking about you, they're NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU!'Ya, fair. The Tara Reid's of the world I could see it.
Jennifer Lawrence? Kate Upton? Can't see any possible benefit to that type of exposure.
There seems to be a trend with young people today that they want to share everything including stuff like this. Whether or not they intended the public to see it is a different story. I'm wondering if the technology is causing people to become careless when taking intimate pictures and videos or posting to social media. Obviously, JLaw had at least 1 drink so that might be it too.Ya, fair. The Tara Reid's of the world I could see it.
Jennifer Lawrence? Kate Upton? Can't see any possible benefit to that type of exposure.
Yeah. The best privacy control is not to have taken the video, picture or posted something dumb on the internet to begin with.As they say in Hollywood, 'Any publicity is good publicity' and 'If they're not talking about you, they're NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU!'
Personally, I have no sympathy. You take those kind of snaps in today's tech-driven world where the concepts of zero loyalty and zero privacy rule, you can't be surprised when they surface publicly.
As my old man used to say 'If you're not in a bar in the first place, you can't get your face broken when a brawl breaks loose!'
If someone really wants the pics they will find a way. I seem to recall Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee's sex tape was stolen from their house from an unlocked safe by one of their assistants or something like that.If I was going to do this, and I have no plans to... at least with my face in the pics, why put them on a cloud server? They are out of your control at that point. Not condoning the hack, just enjoying the images :biggrin1:, but if they are my pics, they would stay under lock and key with me and not on an outside site.
And thanks to the OP for this.
OK. Sure. Eh huh. Right. :dance:
Now for a message from our sponsor.
These women are guilty of being nieve that a digitally captured image on a device connected to the internet is private. To those insinuating the hacker is on par with a rapist they are not they are an opportunist. Those viewing the images are not commiting an act of sexual assult they are commiting an act of curiousity.The more I think about this, the more upset I am that these women were VICTIMIZED and continue to be so. Not to be a downer but you guys are victimizing them here too.
I am in the sex industry ~ it's my choice to have pictures of me on the net. These are personal pictures - no different than a guy posting my face online or pictures taken secretly during a session.
It's wrong.

Jennifer Lawrence Nude Photo Leak Isn't A "Scandal." It's A Sex Crime.
As most of you probably know, someone somewhere dumped a deluge of purported nude photographs of a number of female celebrities online yesterday. The victims include the likes of Kate Upton, Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, Kirsten Dunst, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Krysten Ritter, Yvonne Strahovski, and Teresa Palmer. But the focal point for this story has been Hunger Games/American Hustle actress Jennifer Lawrence, since the Oscar winning actress is perhaps the most famous actress on the planet right now. Without going into sordid details ( Justice and Grande have said the photos claimed to be of them are fake, other victims have confirmed theirs are real), I’d like to make two very specific points. Ms. Lawrence and the other victims have absolutely nothing to apologize for in terms of the contents of the photos or the nature in which they were leaked. The story itself should not be addressed as if it were a scandal, but rather what it is: A sex crime involving theft of personal property and the exploitation of the female body.
Outlets as mainstream as People and CNN are referring to the photo leak as a “scandal.” All due respect, it’s not a scandal. The actresses and musicians involved did nothing immoral or legally wrong by choosing to take nude pictures of themselves and put them on their personal cell phones. You may argue, without any intended malice, that it may be unwise in this day-and-age to put nude pictures of yourself on a cell phone which can be act and/or stolen. But without discounting that statement, the issue is that these women have the absolute right and privilege to put whatever they want on their cell phones with the expectation that said contents will remain private or exclusive to whomever is permitted to see them just like their male peers. The burden of moral guilt is on the people who stole said property and on those who chose to consume said stolen property for titillation and/or gratification.
I sincerely hope that absolutely none of the victims involved in this current leak apologizes or 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. It is, if I may digress for a moment, a loss in a business sense as well, if only because sadly an actress’s most important asset is her body and the titillation that it theoretically brings. If you don’t believe me, then take a look at (random examples) the trailers for Weinstein Company’s Lawless, Paramount’s Star Trek Into Darkness, and Walt Disney's DIS -0.39% Guardians of the Galaxy, plus the posters for Warner Bros.’ (the kids-centric PG-rated) Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and notice how the actresses are highlighted.
The theft via cell phone hacking of countless nude photos, real or doctored, of various female celebrities is not a “scandal” to be mocked and teased about as if it were a public wardrobe malfunction or a gaffe. It should not be treated with quippy sub-headlines like “What Would Katniss do?” It is a crime that has turned the entire online community into potential peeping Toms with little-to-no accountability for the consumers of said stolen property/invasion of privacy. This is clearly a violation. It is a crime of theft with the intent to exploit its victims as punishment for the unpardonable sin of being female. A woman, be she in the public eye or a private citizen, has a right and privilege to take photos of herself for whatever reason she chooses. A woman, be she a celebrity or a regular citizen, has the right to store them in the same manner as her male peers without the presumption that they will be stolen by an act of cyber hackery. And if said photos exist and said photos are stolen, the shame of that act should be, nay must be, wholly on the perpetrator of said crime.
It is not the responsibility of our female population to take “ X” number of steps to lessen the chance that a member of our male population will engage in untoward conduct towards them, be it assault or street harassment. As a society, we deal with violence, especially sexual violence, against women in much the wrongheaded manner that we have fought the war on drugs. We focus on the supply-side, with an emphasis on the things that women must do to “stay safe” instead of focusing on lessening mens’ “demand” to view women as purely a disposable commodity. In short, we emphasize how women can prevent being assaulted instead of telling men and boys not to assault women in the first place. Instead of condemning those who would steal the private photographs and publish them online for all to see, we condemn or belittle the women who chose to create said private photographs in the first place. Ms. Lawrence, Ms. Winstead, and the like have absolutely nothing to apologize for. They have not been scandalized, but rather victimized.
I agree that the girls (and their boyfriends) have been victimized but to suggest that our comments are victimizing them is a bit of a stretch. I won't wander into the discussion of those posting copies but for comments - I disagree.The more I think about this, the more upset I am that these women were VICTIMIZED and continue to be so. Not to be a downer but you guys are victimizing them here too.

I don't disagree and ya, if you allow stuff like that to be captured on film, digitally, etc. you have no one to blame but yourself when it gets leaked. My point is that they were stupid and naive, not seeking publicity.As they say in Hollywood, 'Any publicity is good publicity' and 'If they're not talking about you, they're NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU!'

Kudos to Verlander but just a bit of construcive criticism. If your cum isn't going inside Kate Upton's holy grail or down her throat then go for the facial man! Don't waste your load on her back until you give her a facial is all I'm saying. Rookie mistake but hope he learns from this for next time!If you do not want your personal and private sex pix/vids out in the public domain then buy a Cannon DSLR (with a tripod and some nice lighting) show your pix/vids on your big screen and save your pix/vids to a stand alone unconnected to the net pc or a memory key you keep in your night table drawer.
Nothing is perfectly safe but you can take steps to lessen the risk.
btw Justin Verlander is the MAN!
You're completely right, other than the fact you're totally wrong. Chances are you HAVE a Polaroid, but guess what, hacking? Not so new. Insane invasions of celebrities privacy? Not so new. Major fuckups with online security? Ding ding ding, not so new.To those of you morons saying that the victims shouldn't have been so "naive" and that it is their own damned fault, please explain to me how taking private pictures and storing them securely, and in many (most? all?) cases even DELETING those fucking pictures is somehow irresponsible? Make no mistake, the hacker(s) and probably Apple are responsible (man, the lawsuits are going to be fucking massive!) for what is a criminal act. The victims are no more responsible than if they took a polaroid and had it stolen out of their bedroom dressers. And while it's an exaggeration to say that anyone fapping away like a chimpanzee to Jennifer Lawrence's tits is literally a rapist, you sure as fuck should be ashamed of yourself.

The reality is they didn't take private pictures with a non connected device they used an iphone connected to the internet. Those pictures were stored on icloud. Cyberspace. Once it's out in cyberspace it is out there deleting it on your device doesn't matter the cats already out of the bag at that point.To those of you morons saying that the victims shouldn't have been so "naive" and that it is their own damned fault, please explain to me how taking private pictures and storing them securely, and in many (most? all?) cases even DELETING those fucking pictures is somehow irresponsible?

The scare quotes belong around the word "allowing", not the word "someone". These people took private pictures. They stored said pictures on an allegedly secure server. That isn't naivete. Naivete would be giving copies of your pictures to lovers or friends that proved untrustworthy. Naivete isn't having a reasonable expectation of privacy when using a secure server backed by one of the largest companies in the world that built its fortunes on secure and superior tech.Yes...they have "someone" else to blame, yes shit was stolen, yes, there was a certain level of naïveté involved by the sheer act of allowing those pictures, videos to be taken.
I haven't felt guilty masturbating since I was fifteen. Don't get me wrong, I haven't quit masturbating since then. I just don't feel guilty anymore. (but my arms are getting tired)Dude...just cuz you feel some sort of shame when you jack off, don't go projecting that on others.
No one hates rich Gen Y pinheads more than me. That being said, they would still be the victims of theft. No amount of envying their money or hating their stupidity is going to change that.Storing pix/vids on your phone or on the cloud is not secure. Try this: store your your credit card number with the 3 digit number on the back on the cloud OR use your credit card on a site that does have https:// , you would never do that.
This is no different than the rich Leaside Gen Y pinheads who start their Range Rover to warm it up on a cold day only to find it stolen 2 minutes later. "Oh the baby seat... sniffle..."
Hindsight is 20/20 Ashley. Please quote to me the part of Apple's terms of service where it states that deleted files will not actually be deleted, and you may have a point.The reality is they didn't take private pictures with a non connected device they used an iphone connected to the internet. Those pictures were stored on icloud. Cyberspace. Once it's out in cyberspace it is out there deleting it on your device doesn't matter the cats already out of the bag at that point.
Interesting choice of wording. It implies that you probably wouldn't call yourself naive if the pics were not leaked. (and stop calling it "the" cyberspace, gramps!) Just to make you feel better though, I promise to rub one out if pictures of your tits get leaked, no matter how much I won't want to.No one in this world would get excited by pictures of my
tits. That said, I'd still call myself naive if a securely stored
video of me wiping my behind after taking a dump in private
was leaked to the cyberspace.
