Would this not be governed by the terms of the stream? If the content was created via a platform, the explicit definition of who has authorization to disseminate it certainly wouldn't rest solely with the creator.
When she streamed she legally declared her own information to be in the public domain.
Public information is not the same as public domain. They still hold the copyright on the streams, making reuploads illegal.
Also, aside from legality, it's simply morally wrong. They consented to be watched once live (or, if they enabled recordings, until they delete the VOD), not for it to be shared around on third party sites forever - regardless what Chaturbate put in their TOS to cover their asses.
Anyone who puts personal porn on the internet and who doesn't understand that EVERYTHING is digitally archived somewhere in the world, is a digitally illiterate moron. She performed sex for strangers on a website that does not even claim to be able to protect your material from theft. If she cared SOOOO much, she should have hidden her face, covered any tattoos, blocked people from her state, and removed all personally identifiable items from her bedroom.
Is it morally wrong? Sure, I guess. Is it completely fucking predictable? Also, yes. Should she just roll with it and stop making it out to be some kind of deep violation of her privacy? Also yes. There's a reason people flock to Trump, and it's because he's not an apologetic, spineless worm. Stop being so fucking weak, own it, and fight the hell back! There's nothing wrong with consensual sex, and it would play SOOOOOO much better if she just said, "Yeah my husband and I fuck. So what? Let's talk about healthcare!"
Jesus these mealy-mouthed, pearl-clutching Quaker wannabes are exhausting.
Gosh, you seem to care about this a lot...
Which is weird, because we seem to be in agreement about a major part:
Was it predictable that it would be recorded and redistributed? Sure. But that still doesn't make it right.
Oh my god! How dare someone comment on a discussion forum!!
You'll note that I never said anything was right or wrong, in any of my comments. In fact, I don't give a shit about right and wrong, and I've said so before. The videos are public information, she showed her face in them, she knew they could be leaked, they were leaked, and the more she hems and haws about a violation of privacy the more she looks like a spineless, clueless dumbass.
Nah, it's more about the capslock, bold font and insults.
I mean, you said in your previous comment in this chain that you "guess" it's morally wrong. And beyond me quoting that I have not claimed you made a moral judgement on this situation.
But alas, I think that it is morally wrong whether or not it was foreseeable, and I do so regardless of what your moral judgement of the situation is (if any). Which, again, seems to really matter to you.
If formatted text scares you, maybe don't spend time reading comments on an internet forum, genius.
What kind of gatekeeping sophistry nonsense is that? You replied to me, chump. I literally don't care one iota about your pseudo-intellectual moralizing, and the fact that you keep trying to focus on me and my tone rather than the facts of the story at hand, tells me that you're just here to fellate yourself.
I repeat: I don't care if it was right or wrong. It was entirely predictable, it was consensual, it doesn't fucking matter, and whining and complaining is a losing strategy in the court of public opinion. It gives delicate white knight cupcakes like you something to hyperventilate about, and you're playing right into the GOP's hands because they know you can't resist judging someone down the slope of your nose. Focus less on right and wrong, and more on winning. Nobody likes whiny losers.
