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."
