Not if you are taking your clothes off in front of other people.
As I said, the girls who were asleep or passed out, that's a problem.
Girls who choose to drink and get naked, that's the girl's problem and the Frat shouldn't be in trouble for distributing or sharing those photos. That's what happens when you do something stupid. Don't want it to happen? Don't get naked at a party.
So if I consent to 30 specific people at a private party seeing me naked, I'm automatically consenting to someone taking a photo and posting it to the internet where 300, 3,000, 3 million... people can see see me naked?
There is no such thing as consenting to a display in a limited capacity like that. If you get naked at a party, it is what it is and if you end up with pictures all over that is on you.
But where is the line drawn? What if I chose to get naked in front of one person and they photograph it unbeknownst to me and then post all over the internet? I chose to allow one person to see me naked--by doing so, was I choosing to allow that person to do whatever they want with my image?
Sorry it has taken so long to reply. The internet connection here in Malabo is not good.
Anyways, the line is drawn by the circumstances in which you took the picture. If you are fooling around with your significant other and a picture is taken the circumstances surround the picture are a lot different than when some girl flashes a camera on spring break or take off her pants at a frat party.
In one instance you retain a certain level of control and expectation as to your privacy because with is an implied agreement, a mutuality of understanding. When you flash a mob or a group of people in which you have no actual immediate connection, you aren't conversing with, and are not actively engaged with then you retain no expectation of privacy. You have given yourself over to the whims of the crowd. You've done that because if you didn't want that to happen you wouldn't have performed that action.
It's also important that you do not really retain the right to your image. You have no legal or constitutional right to not have your picture taken. The best way to put that is, your face is public. When you show your ass in public, it, like your face is all the time, becomes part of the public flow.
Now, about this topic, as I have said, the girls who were passed out etc are a problem and the frat deserves to be kicked off of campus for that. However, I have a feeling that many of the pictures shared had more to do with just slutty girls showing various parts and then regretting it later. I have no sympathy for those. Their pictures are on the internet? Tough **** you shouldn't act like trash.
