The scenes in question were of an actress who had been hired, filmed, and paid for her work, in films that were then released commercially. If that doesn't count as "consent," what the fuck does?!
Thanks for phrasing your question as a question! Sexual consent is:
I know people want to jack off for free, but nobody is automatically entitled to someone’s nudes just because they exist. Nudes are a deeply personal thing. You’re welcome to find some Creative Commons pics, or pay for it.
Seriously, if someone asks you to delete nudes of them, you have a moral obligation to do that, and that right extends to all people, including you, your exes, sex workers, and yes actresses
Once capital and copyright are involved consent is impossible.
Copyright is not and can not ever be a part of consent.
Law generally can't.
Wild take. So in your mind prostitutes have no right to consent?
Is there copyright involved in prostitution?
Actually yes, many prostitutes will film themselves doing the act, because it makes it technically legal in some states in the US if it’s “porn”. But you didn’t know that, so that’s besides the point.
Taking a step back: this is c/declineintocensorship not c/piracy. The fact that these are copyrighted means these pictures had even more protections than if not, legally speaking. Even ignoring the sensitive nature of these pictures, it is reasonable for the owner of content (the actresses and or producers) to enforce their copyright protections on these.
So porn involves copyright, a legally distinct category of activity.
Which i did in fact already know, i didn't realise you were referencing something that you hadn't mentioned in your reply.
I'll assume you don't actually have a basis for claiming that prostitution involves copyright then.
I get that it sounds like splitting hairs, but we are commenting on something with a legal context, the legal distinctions are relevant.
Indeed, as seems to be the case here.
