Hacked accounts
« on: September 01, 2014, 12:04:13 PM »
So if you didn't know there was a huge hacked account leak yesterday for pictures.  Several high profile peoples nude pics were leaked.  Now I hate anything censored at all, one of the main reasons I love gE so much. 

My question is what do you guys think about leaking hacked photos?  I mean is it their fault for taking them to begin with?  Should it be fair game since they choose to upload them to the cloud?  Is it the same as selling stolen merchandise?  Should we even care?

It absolutely shouldn't be fair game. Accessing them was a criminal act, and so is hosting/looking at the pictures. Possession of stolen property.

So is that the same as downloading a song, that's stolen property.  I'm not saying hacked nude pics and songs are the same thing.  Looking at it from a legal standpoint tho.

Wait, looking at them is a criminal act? I don't expect any G men to show up at my door for looking at Kate Upton's soft, amorphous mid section.

If you took Polaroid pictures and had them sitting in a drawer at home, would it be your fault if stolen?

A drawer at home is not readily accessible to anyone with an internet connection in the world.

Isn't it more like you stored polaroids in a locker in a public place, the locker wasn't as secure as you thought, someone accessed it, made copies of your pics, and left the originals in the locker? Would that be a crime?

I don't think the place matters is the point I'm making.  Nobody had access to them without explicitly and knowingly breaking the law.  So yes, the person explicitly and knowingly breaking the law is to blame

What's the law?  I know the guy in the last high profile case got 10 years, but I'm not seeing how it's totally straightforward that this is a crime.

Unauthorized accessing of secure computer systems is hacking and illegal.  Theft, blackmail, violation of privacy, and copyright infringement are some other charges that could likely be brought up in these situations.

Is OP upset because Kate Upton has the exact same ass as Justin Verlander?

Sorry you guys had to see my hairy buns and droopy balls.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I read a tiny bit about those things and it just reinforced my previous idea that this type of case is not such a straightforward issue.  Seriously, if I see a publicly accessible locker that was meant to be locked but left unlocked, is it a crime for me to take a look inside?  Why would it be?

In your example, probably not.  In actuality, the locker wasn't unlocked and you took things out of it.

The publicly accessible locker was locked, and you spent 2-3 days trying to break in to it.
Where did you get that overnight bag?
