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?

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.
KU is right on par with Notre Dame ... when it comes to adding additional conference revenue
Beer pro tip: never drink anything other than BL, coors, pbr, maybe a few others that I'm forgetting

Theft, blackmail, violation of privacy, and copyright infringement are some other charges that could likely be brought up in these situations.

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?
Reddit is calling it "The Fappening"
The publicly accessible locker was locked, and you spent 2-3 days trying to break in to it.
