#2>People claimed to be afraid of him. He had no fear oflawsuits; he knew a victim would be unlikely to sue because a civil suit would cost $60,000 (according to attorney Marc Randazza)
Why do we allow that kind if situation to persist? What can be done about it?

It's tough to do anything because what if the suit was false?
You can't just assume the suer is correct and deserves protection.
There is a right for someone to face their accuser, and you can't make them pay just because they were accused.
For the money issue there are charities that do help. Regarding the name part perhaps a judge can seal or redact the record?

#4I am surprised that someone didn't injure the man, or worse.

#6I emailed the site owner, Hunter Moore, and asked him to take down the photo in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. He refused.
Would it be to much trouble for these people to learn how to use the DMCA properly? Obviously he is not going to turn his own web site off.

I was asking about the $60k issue. Why is it so expensve even in the most clear-cut case?
And it looks like charity really can't fill the void in this case.

#9How was Gary Jones hacking those e-mail accounts?
How was Black Lotus blocking assets (pages, images) on Moore's website? And why was a security company he hired(?) working against him?

#10A somewhat related note is that America's culture of sex-negativity, shame and general hysteria around nudity is a required prerequisite for this type of bullying and abuse. Look at the following paragraph:
> Jill became hysterical, repeating, "Oh, my God. No. Oh, my God. No."
This is, obviously, the reaction of someone who fears repercussions from others. And this is for completely harmless acts (taking nude photos), which almost everyone does these days. And with good reason. Society in the US clamps down hard on people (women to a greater degree, but also men) who have the audacity to express their sexuality. That this expression was in no way intended for the public, makes no difference. Once it becomes publicly known, you are a slut (or a pervert) and harshly punished. Perverts are no good, and sluts are worse. This cultural norm is the only reason this type of shaming has any effect.
But really, we are all sluts and perverts. A good first step would be to go after the psychopaths who run campaigns like these. A good second step would be to abolish the cultural norms that allow sexuality and nudity to be used as a weapon.
If you look at "alternative" sexual societies like swingers' clubs or BDSM communities, you will often hear the word "pervert" or "slut" used in a positive sense, the way homosexuals are reclaiming literally every derogatory term used about their sexual identity. Most people in these communities are very aware and careful regarding the reactions of outside society if it became known what they do in their bedrooms, but the capability to make them feel bad about themselves for acts of nudity or sex is often completely absent.
