Then it would be an internet crime of some sort, yes. Theft, violation of privacy, etc.
But it wouldn't be armed robbery or home invasion, anymore than swiping her photos is a sex crime.
I think people are objecting to the stupidity of storing graphic photos in "the cloud," or the naivete, at least.
Nothing is safe out there. Someone of her media and publicity savvy should know that.
“Then it would be an internet crime of some sort, yes. Theft, violation of privacy, etc.

It may not be armed robbery, but anyone who’s ever been robbed can tell you that it is a physical violation. Anyone who’s ever seen their intellectual property stolen and used for ill-gotten gain can tell you that it feels worse than being robbed of your wallet.
And finally, anyone who’s EVER been a victim of identity theft will tell you they’d have rather someone came in to their home, beat them with a bat, and taken whatever they were going to take. Trying to get your life back, your job, your credit rating, your money, or insurance policies, etc. after identity theft is something that goes on for 10 years after it happens.
That’s all she’s saying. The pictures were private, and she took steps to maintain them privately. She feels violated.
