I think the rules for the internet should be the same as the rules for any other media. There is legal action that can be taken if someone sells or gives a nude picture of another person to a magazine for publication, without permission. The laws for the internet should be the same. The way to regulate it, is to transfer the laws that govern other publications to the internet as well. Things that are already illegal should be enforced regardless of the venue. Child porn, stalking, slander, etc. All of it should carry the same reprocussions. -- The HarmyBoard HarmDrive

[> [> If the pics are real, it doesn't fall into any of those categories. She posed for them and trusted her bf not to distribute them. Now, the fake sex ones are a different story. No word from AI yet on her fate. She is not a good singer but this will get her votes. -- judi, 12:56:48 02/28/07 Wed [1]

[> [> [> If they are real and she didn't give permission for them to be published the laws apply. You bet she would have a case if she pursued it and it was a normal paper publication. Now tabloids get away with things like that more often because famous people see it as a waste of time to try to sue them, when it's all just lies. But even if a tabloid crosses the line, they can be sued and fined millions for releasing private pictures without consent. -- Theresa, 09:27:01 03/07/07 Wed [1]
