Those 2 things - property rights and the right to privacy - should overcome free speech issues...

I'm inclined to agree. Unfortunately, considering how large the penumbra of the Constitution has grown, there's no telling what whould end up being permissible or not. ;-)

“I believe both of those issues should be reserved for civil court where you can sue somebody for those infractions.”

Do you understand that the Internet is forever, that once something like this is done, it cannot be reversed? I’M HOME, this is such an egregious violation of your property and privacy rights that it should be criminal to violate them. I would specifically leave a means in the law to allow for a judicial finding that it is fine to do in specific, limited circumstances (like, for instance, someone who signed a release for artistic purposes, or someone who was a stripper and had already basically given up the right to object).
