Man Arrested for Sharing Copyright Infringing Nude Scenes Through Reddit.
Man Arrested for Sharing Copyright Infringing Nude Scenes Through Reddit.
Danish police have arrested a 39-year-old man who shared nude scenes of more than a hundred female actors through Reddit and porn sites.
It’s just abuse. You deliver something for the production and the story, and then you end up being molested that way,” Jensen said.
Abuse? Molested? This is a load of shit. If they don't want to be seen nude then don't be filmed nude.
170Yeah sorry this isn't molestation, this is how media works in a digital connected world. The fact the entertainment industry has been denying the realities of their industry for 50 some odd years causes some head-scratching takes, like an actress being "molested" by someone jerking off to her in a scene they didnt pay for. No, sorry lady, once you expose the flesh to the camera you relinquish the right to keep it to yourself.
These stupid goddamn articles always trot out some actress or stagehand to humanize the 'victims' too, when its really just rich production companies losing money. Fuck everything about this.
79Regretting doing a nude scene is humanizing. Making your regret someone else's problem is just shitty all around.

This is also why I am thankful for the American first amendment.
It would appear that in that user's country, it is considered additionally a crime to take the nude scene out of context.
I think a lot of people online take freedom of speech for granted, not realizing that many supposedly civilized countries have an increasing number of restrictions on unpopular speech, critical speech, or otherwise undesirable speech like this.39Given the country in question, the actress' nationality, and the writers name, this may be a simple translation misalignment. Molest doesn't have the same weight in every language/region. Molest is more akin to "bother" in Spanish, for example.
25I'm pretty sure she means molested as in abused or misused.
On a side note, as to the molesting aspect, I can't see how this is any different than 14yo me having a couple of VHS tapes where the boob-parts were more worn than the rest of the tape. Or going frame by frame on the Taxi 2 DVD in the scene where Petra does kung fu in a skirt. Or golden child where the mythical woman behind the curtain is revealed. Or the shower/locker room scene in robocop. Or the bath scene in coming to America. Or the playboy mansion in Beverly Hills cop 2.... Anyway I digress.
If you appear naked in a movie, expect teenage boys and creepy men to jerk off to you. Not the perfect world would be, I know. In the perfect world everyone would respect that the actress was only nude as an artistic choice, and it wasn't meant to be spank bank material.
Copyright on the other hand, I thought that was just a civil law matter. Wonder why the guy was arrested.
Edit: Oh shit, good thing that I don't sail the seven seas, and definitely never has. 2 years ago a Danish guy got 30 days probation for doing less than some of my friends did in high school and university.
6This isn't Spanish (I speak it), it's also the same word in Danish according to the dictionary.

It is copyright infringement. As a copyright abolitionist, I don't care.
Also, the outrage here is the belief that it is wrong to shown your naked body to a camera and then publishing it.
And now my warning, people who believe the naked body is shameful and that those who have shown their body have done something wrong. You are a monster, leave my planet before next month, or else ..

Wow.. While the action is ethically crappy, I never would have thought that to be an arrestable offense. Using the actresses to generate new nudes and porn scenes? Sure, but to literally cut out the nude scenes from real movies? Kind of crazy to get arrested for that without some sort of warning or cease and desist letter first.
143Yeah, an arrest for something that would be generally understood to be fair use is a lot.
I can see the case for "that's not fair use". I'm not necessarily convinced either way. But an arrest?
74A porn company could make the same, out-of-context argument just to slap an extra charge onto the arrest. That 2 minutes of badly acted exposition was a critical reason why she's taking cocks in 3 holes. It's really a lovely scene you turned into pure filth!
18I think the judge would know it when they see it and laugh them out of the court room.

I am very shocked for the whole thing,This is a very bad precedent.
The man literally did something that the website itself allows by default (by allowing the subreddit) the one at fault here is Reddit, not the man himself. They are the ones who should deal with the consequences.
11Ehhhhh.... that's a pretty shit take. Any site that allows uploads of files "allows" uploads of CSAM? See how that breaks down immediately?

So, is r/celebnsfw closing? Because it’s exactly what it is. Guy was probably the only human in a sea of bots posting there.
54Its cause hes from Denmark and made their own version of r/watchitfortheplot. Apparently illegal in Denmark. But like its already online, just takes a quick search to find the scenes in question.

Just FYI, this wasn't clips of porn. This was actual movies with nude scenes.
Still not entirely sure how I feel about it, but I do agree it's not the same thing.
49Assuming he did not upload the whole movie or demanded money for those scenes, I don't see how that's a good case for the copyright holder. Movie snippets are used all the time, everywhere, including YouTube, without this being much of an issue. The most glaring one there would be the auto detection, which again, is more to prevent actual piracy being shared.
Edit: Also, why is he getting arrested instead of getting a letter?!
57Part of the (US) definition of fair use is the impact of the use on the original party. Killing their viewership with a review is still fair use because it's balanced with the public's right to a review, but I think there's a legitimate argument that turning their movie into nothing but a sex object, especially systematically like that, does harm that's not protected.

Why do you not know how to feel about it?
To me it's just clip collection, you could have a collection of all death scenes or car cashes. They're all just clips from videos people agreed to make for public consumption.
22Because in basically any other scenario it's obvious sexual harassment, and behavior like that is a big part of the reason a lot of actresses aren't comfortable doing a role where they're nude to begin with.
It's not porn stars who signed up for that content being made into a highlight. It's an actress who agreed to do a specific scene as part of a movie being treated like they're doing porn.

Why does that matter? To a horny enough 14 year old there is no difference.
0In both cases actresses did consent to being filmed nude.

Rights Alliance also called on Reddit to take the matter seriously. While many of the problematic clips were already removed at that point, the group urged Reddit to implement upload filters to prevent future trouble.
Nothing sinister here, folks. Just defending helpless women against those evil techbros.
30Nothing sinister here, folks. Just defending helpless women against those evil techbros.
These are paid actresses. Nothing helpless about it. Clips of film and TV are uploaded all the time. How is this any different?
7I was just being sarcastic. The article is explicit that there is a copyright organization behind this.

That seems insane, is there some special reason they got arrested that was left out of something?
12Money. You aren't paying for the video that the scene is from, you're just watching the scene.
It's almost always about money.... Absolutely absurd
