Ditto. How the fuck did she find out about her pics being on the site and how the hell did she find out the website? I think there is more to this 'story' than meets the eye. There is a fine line between sanity and insanity. I have a foot firmly planted either side of that line | |||

I see the offended party is in County Antrim. Coming originally from there as I do, I can exclusively reveal that there are some VERY uptight people there when it comes to sex. Especially other people's, which is generally disapproved of, and would be banned if it were possible to do so. | |||

By the time an incident reaches the clutches of the media there is always another far more accurate side to it left behind. SOS The Titter group - for when you don't feel too serious. | |||

There's a useful site called tineye which trawls the web for your specified picture and tells you where else it's posted. | |||

I was very interested to note this posting...if someone set up the profile and made it relatively easy for people to gain contact details of the lady or indeed, invited people to go to her home then consdier...would you like it if someone did it to you? The police do indeed get involved, it might take time but its good to see that things do happen and people do get traced, even if part of the company is based overseas. I can fly but I want his wings | |||

But it's a libel case - presumably due to an inaccurate description around the photo. The fact that UK libel is cross territorial is not news. I also don't see how it has any chilling implications for other adult sites. If it's not libellous then they have no problem. I really don't mind sites that are libellous being threatened.
The intention is irrelevant. She's suing them for libel. What matters is if the statements are true. Every website owner is classed as a publisher (same as a newspaper is for it's journalists). Again, this has been clarified in UK court precedent since the Godfrey vs Demon Internet case in 1999. That's why any forum owner in the UK is *very* careful about moderating the comments made on the site for libel. They are responsible for them. But their liability is massively limited to the extent of not being worth suing if they respond quickly and appropriately to a complaint. Which hasn't happened here. The only story here is: site is notified that nude pictures have been uploaded without permission, does nothing about it, suffers legal action which it could have avoided by not acting as dicks when they got the complaint. Nothing about this is bad or terrible. | |||

There are only a handful of offences which, if committed abroad, can be tried in the UK. One of them is kiddy porn. I presume you aren't referring to that, so I suspect the reference is to EP. The EP law says its an offence 'to posses', so I would think even if your server is in Timbuktu, if you legally own it, and your in the UK, you posses it and are in the UK whilst possessing it.
Which legislation? However, this is not a criminal prosecution against the site for its inherent content or nature, simply seeking damages for the continued misuse of her images. I completely fail to see what objection anyone could possibly have. And all men kill the thing they love, By all let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword! | |||

Nothing about this is relevant to BDSM Activism, either. | |||
