Life must be tough if you're stupid enough to post nekkid pictures of yourself and then complain when others post those same pics.
I would have to see the pictures to determine if it’s porn or not.... : )
Let’s see.... Time to photo shop some pics of Hillary Clinton with Helen Thomas! I will leave this one to the imagination!!!!
I think you’re misreading a very poorly written sentence from the article.
The women didn’t post anything. They posed for sexy pictures for their boyfriends, then after the relationships ended, the boyfriends got revenge by posting the pictures.
If the owner was going to charge a fee to have the pictures removed, then it could be argued that the site was not a bulletin board since the owner had control of the content and could remove the photos!
Tsk, tsk. It’s hard to feel sorry for these women, being so unsavvy about modern technology AND romantically inept. I’m not getting preachy about pre-marital sex, nor am I oblivious to it, but these women need to realize that nude photos shared with a man who is not their husband requires a lot of trust...probably more trust than that person has earned.
“Local attorney Victor Johnson says the lawsuit could be difficult to pursue if website’s operator can prove its a bulletin board and that they have no control over the content.”
For a lawyer, ANY lawyer to make that statement instead of pursuing a law suit on behalf of these women tells me there is no legal action that can be taken.

“...went from being a modest teacher’s aide in Beaumont to an unintended porn star...”
Don’t. Take. Pics.
Your body is eyes only. Nobody takes pictures unless you want to be a porn star. Not your boyfriend, not your girlfriend, not the love of your life, not your husband.
Eyes only.
Don't forget.
If the owner is using a fake address for his site’s registration, his registrar can take down his site. That’s a major ICANN no-no.
Is semi-nude kinda like semi-pregnant?
Imagine this narration as read by David Attenborough.
“In the human species, the female attracts interested males by putting on a colorful display. In fact, she is compelled to do so, with some females adopting an almost comically gaudy appearance. Others go in the opposite direction, by shedding clothing as if they intend to mate just then.
“For their part, the inclination of the male humans is to gaze at the females much like hungry lions gaze at gazelles.
“It does not even matter to the males if the female is alive and standing in front of them, or is just a depiction of a female. They, likewise, cannot control their compunctions.
“But this gives females a unique opportunity to shed their garments exclusively for still or video photography. An activity that far too many females realize afterwards, was a demonstrably bad idea.”
You are correct - stupid enough to take such photos for “boyfriends”.
That stuff is suppose to stay private - and for your HUSBAND. But since the morality of human beings is as fallen and corrupt as it has become - nobody keeps anything special and in the right place.
Sorry - I have NO sympathy. Decisions have consequences.
...one who says her father alerted her she was a revenge porn victim.
This one gave me a chuckle. Gee, I wonder how he found out. ;-)
Like it or not once you send an image to someone there is always a risk that the photo can go online. Online images never die, sexting is so stupid I don’t know y people do it.
Ladies, if you don’t want naked pictures of yourself on the Internet, don’t voluntarily take naked pictures of yourself.
Nude pictures taken without a persons knowledge should be treated as a felony. Of course, that will put half the government in jail.
If these women win this lawsuit, FreeRepublic and other online forums will be targeted and probably be lawfared into closing down in the near future using this ruling.
So all you stupid fools should consider the hypocricy in cheering for these women.
Toups proved already willing to be a porn star, when she provided the photos to an audience of one (her then-boyfriend). That doesn't excuse what the now-ex has done with the photos, but it shows that she wasn't always the "modest teacher's aide" that she now claims to be.
