  • Yes! and its also not nice to do so anyhow !!!
  • very illegal, and very rude!
  • why not take the high road-she wasnt sharp enough to not take those pictures-you show her what class is and send them back to her!
  • i want to know how it is illegal though? the whole moral values dont really matter at the moment. ive decided i wanted to do this..
  • It depends. First, is it against MySpace policy to do this? I would guess the answer is yes, but I don't know for sure. If so, crafty prosecutors have used this to prosecute. Second, how did you obtain the pictures? If you do not have a copyright for the pictures, it would be illegal to post them. Third, although not a crime, you can be held liable for the tort of breach of privacy. And I am pretty sure a jury will not be sympathetic to your reason for posting the pictures.
  • Yes it is illegal it is a copyright violation. If you do not have a signed model consent form, you are liable. You can sue him big time.
  • If you want to show anyone, you can show me :) i'd be glad to take a look at them.
  • Yes, it is illegal. Why? You hate ur ex girlfriend, so, you want to revenge against ur ex? Please do not give me negative points. I ask you: 216 - PORNOGRAPHY “You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery. But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.” - Matthew 5:27-28 http://www.tldm.org/Directives/d216.htm
  • To answer the question correctly, no, it is not illegal to post nude photo's of your girlfriend on the internet. The only way that it could be legal is one of two ways. The first is if she were a celebrity of some kind or a professional. Than her image, name, and likeness would be under copy right and you would either have to remove the pictures or pay her royalties; however you would not see a single day in court. Second, if you forced her into taking the photos. Photos taken while someone is under distress would be an assumption of not being in sound mind. That is to say if she were forced into, and said yes while clearly in tears for instance, this would be illegal and ruled as a form of abuse. However, if you are she, or an unnamed third party took the photos, they are/were consented upon doing so, and you were OF AGE to do so...very important... than...to answer verbosely,no. You cannot be held in any illegality for doing something morally and ethically suggestible, but, unfortunately (for her anyway), totally legal.
  • If you do not have written consent you can be sued if you publish any photo with visibly recognizable people. quit being revingful and let it go...forget it you will be better off in the long run.
  • Grow up!!!!!!!
  • Frankly, you're an asshole.
  • Yes it's illegal. No matter what she did, being a douche isn't going to make it better.
  • You mean you only have 1 ex girlfriend? Oh I see, it's no wonder you've only had 1 girlfriend. You are not worth a date.
  • It is illegal unless she was naked in a public place, like a nude beach. Then you can use the photos like you want, and even sell them... LOL she can still sue you, but will only get more publicity.
  • It is illegal to post photos of anyone naked or not unless you have written and signed permission to do so from all those shown in the photo/s. This is known as a "model release". Without a model release you are left wide open for a law suit.
  • The comments on this board do not address the question. Specifically, the question is IF it is "illegal" to post ex-girl friend pix. Illegal is different than civil liability. Something illegal is violating a statute and having penalties, like jail, fine, etc. Calling the person who posted the question names only proves why some men post ex's pix on line as they felt harassed or betrayed while in the relationship. Nonetheless, to answer the question, "it depends", but generally it is not illegal. The issue is if consent for the pic was given, or if the pic was taken without consent, like a hidden camera. There must be an expectation of privacy. For example, if the ex is changing in her room and the boyfriend snaps pix through a window, and posts them, clearly she didn't consent and that would be illegal (see California statute below). If she is posing, then that's consent. The comments about copyright, model releases, etc. are irrelevant to the question of legality since not having a model release leaves the person open for a lawsuit NOT a criminal complaint being filed. Now, what if she is posing, and the boyfriend then posts pix on the internet: not illegal, but civil liability (lawsuit) for invasion of privacy since she consented to the pic for the boyfriend, not the world. However, the bad part is, you might get a million dollar judgment, unless the ex-boyfriend has a million dollars, you don't get a dime. Plus, very few attorneys will take a case on a contingency fee (no money upfront) if the defendant doesn't have money to pay out. Thus, you are stuck paying $250-300 an hour to get a judgment you may not see a dime from. Absent that, enjoy your day. The below criminal statute is typical of states insuring privacy by some criminal sanction. Penal Code Section 647(j) (1) Any person who looks through a hole or opening, into, or otherwise views, by means of any instrumentality, including, but not limited to, a periscope, telescope, binoculars, camera, motion picture camera, or camcorder, the interior of a bedroom, bathroom, changing room, fitting room, dressing room, or tanning booth, or the interior of any other area in which the occupant has a reasonable expectation of privacy, with the intent to invade the privacy of a person or persons inside. This subdivision shall not apply to those areas of a private business used to count currency or other negotiable instruments.
  • Almost forgot the second portion of the question. First, if you don't have consent don't do it. Second, if the ex is a minor, and you post any sexual, be ready for the FBI and prison for transmitting child porn. If she's an adult, then (1) get consent in writing, (2) and come within compliance of 2257. see http://www.myposes.com/2257.php
  • why do want to post the nude pic of ur ex on the net ur a dog why not post ur own pic on the net it is illegal 'cause ur ex girlfriend is protected by law so without her approval or a paper signed that she agree that u post a naked pic of u can't o as if she decide to sue you for this act she can n u will lose the case 100% u idiot it has already happened i think in 2008 somebody's broke up with him so like he is an idiot as if for revenge he posted some naked pics of her on the net which he a think he regret enormously as he prompted to pay a very big big some of money for this act as he was sued by the girl so if u think u got alot of money so go ahead and do the job but if u think as a good man u won't ok but for me u r still an idiot as the idea come from ur dead brain my friend aha haha idiot
