National Revenge Porn Law

revenge porn is nasty, glad they're doing something about it

A lot of porn is nasty.. That's why it's porn.

But I have a question,,
Who owns the photos? The person that took them and has possession of the originals..
or the person who is photographed.

Who owns the photos? the photographer? or the model?
 
There are probably some folks out there who had pics/videos taken of them prior to the rise of the internet. There are different scenarios.

Perhaps.. But who owns them? The idiot that posed naked?.. or the idiot that took the photo.? (and had possession of it)
 
I have a simple solution. Don't take provocative photos or make provocative videos. Why do we need a law to protect stupidity?

There's already a few big laws that govern this topic, it's amazing if they're not sufficient.

1. Copyright. DMCA takedown notices apply to ALL US sites and servers, very few people bother to go overseas in a niche such as revenge porn, as the hassle of hiding wouldn't pay off in such a small audience (there is no money to be made with sites like these, the most they can make is advertising revenue and/or extortionist "take down fees", both of which leave traces to US jurisdictions most of the time. That doesn't stop people from trying as bitcoin is becoming the new trading mechanism of illegal sites).

2. Porn laws in general. In the US, all porn sites must provide proof that all performers are adults & have consented to being published.

3. Privacy & release. These are laws that protect actors and unauthorized releases. (They're basically echoes of Copyright & consent laws). Although privacy isn't a right, it's recognized in almost all states as an actionable tort (unfortunately).

Under these rules above, revenge porn sites can't last, they're not profitable and hard to maintain. New laws will not add to prevention, at best, they'll put pressure on ISPs to increase scrutiny (something they're hands off on thanks to Section 230 CDA)

If there wasnt a 2nd amendment guns would be outlawed. Because for these statists the mentality is to ban everything they disagree with or find offensive. And to hell with the people who disagree.

You think you're being clever, that's like saying what if you have MPD/DID and you defame yourself, you stab yourself....among millions of things a person with MPD can do to "himself". The answer would be the same, regardless of whether you can file charges, good luck with the jury recognizing your "problem". if you have MPD/DID posting naked pictures of yourself is the least of your concerns, trust me.

(Oh yes, leave it to NorthCarolinaLiberty to say I have MPD because I supposedly post under multiple accounts)
 
Another Gov meddling Law , just what we need.

How about, don't do porn shoots if you don't want it seen ?

Concept.
