German Court Rules That You Can't Keep Compromising Photos After a Break-Up

Posted by timothy on from the talk-about-hard-to-enforce dept.

mrspoonsi (2955715) writes "A German amateur photographer has found out after his ex-girlfriend took him to court, which ruled that the subjects of smutty pictures can withdraw their consent if they're naked. [News release in German.] The shutterbug was able to keep the clothed pictures, however, as they weren't considered to compromise the reputation of the woman in question."

    No body plans to break up while going into a relationship normally

    Then they're obviously not paying attention since that is how the majority of their relationships will end.

  2. So masturbatory fantasies are immoral? by hsthompson69 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wait, so you're not allowed to masturbate while thinking of someone once you break up with them? It's now immoral to have sexual fantasies?

    Does this mean a girl who masturbates while fondling a diamond ring she got from her ex needs to return the diamond ring?
