Scott Mendelson  has an interesting new take on the celebrity photo leak scandals going around. He believes that it is not the celebrity's fault that the pictures got out, and that its their right to take nude pictures if they want too. He states that "It is a crime of theft with the intent to exploit its victims as punishment for the unpardonable sin of being female". But, is this really the case? Lets be honest, no one just takes nude photos of themselves for "fun" or for personal enjoyment. Most people would take a nude picture of themselves to send to a prospective lover, or a very very close friend. Bottom line there was a reason these pictures where taken. If you willingly take a nude picture of yourself you understand and accept the risk of it getting out because everything is connected. People get their identity's stolen every single day, so why would pictures on a cell phone be any safer? I do believe that its wrong to steal files and upload them without consent, but I also believe in common sense, and common sense would dictate if you don't want the world to see you naked you probably shouldn't be taking pictures naked.
