In all seriousness, I look forward to a world with assassination markets every time I read a story like this.
Yes, murder is the correct solution to situations that make you mad. This cannot fail to go well for absolutely everyone.

Courts don't exist to solve all disputes, surely. One clear indication that this is not an appropriate dispute to solve using men with guns is the fact that she had to rely on awkward legal maneuvers (retroactively registering the photo with the copyright office and sending a DMCA notice) that clearly weren't intended for this. The alternative is not to engage in a different form of violence, but rather to ignore it…
...and if you are fired because someone sees your naked photo? If someone comes up to you in a store and says, "I've seen you naked?" Both of these were examples of the harassment women go through regularly after an event like this.

I think the fact, as per the article, a victim teaching at a school was treated like the perpetrator is partially what they are referring to. Just like the good old days where the rape victims were the ones at fault. Society has a lot to blame for here as well.
Rape victim-blaming still happens. A lot.

>>Well, if people in their social circle made fun of him saying they'd seen her topless, it could certainly stress things between them. That would make him pretty worthless.
It depends on the relationship of course. Some relationships are worth taking abuse for. Some aren't.
It doesn't matter if you're going to break up with her the next day or you hate the very sight of the woman, it's basic human decency.

Really? where would the rootkit hide? Even if I replace all my HD sectors with zeros? I'm truly interested to know if this is real. thanks
EFI partition, BIOS, other nonvolatile system memory? If it gets root level access it can hide anywhere there are a few KB. Even less than that will do if you're just putting a hook to instruct the computer to re-download the virus if it is detected that it has been removed.

Do you have kids? Perhaps you don't understand the righteous anger that a parent would feel in this scenario. If this happened to my kid, I would also completely take over, and want them involved as little as possible. Yes, even if they were 24.
Of course I'd want to on some level, but I'd also want to make sure that even if I helped I'd also be imparting the skills for them to accomplish things on their own. I think I view enabling a child's independence as a parent's most important job, particularly in light of the often random and occasionally capricious nature of death.
Your argument is a little like saying that the best time to teach first aid is when your kid has a gaping chest wound.
I 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.
Since we're obviously talking about a very determined scumbag, it'd be too easy to just host outside the US. Copyright law often does apply in this kind of situation, but it's still not a great solution. Need more attention to privacy rights.

If you trust in the feasibility of anonymous currency and anonymous internet hosting/browsing (we are close to both already via Tor and Bitcoin/blind mixes), then get ready for a world with assassination markets. It really doesn't matter what you think about it. I see a number of advantages to de facto anarchy, Hunter Moore getting offed is only one.

Many of the photos were photoshopped.
