The Fappening? 

Man, what a night this must've been, thousands upon thousands of neckbeards slowjerking it to constant updates. Dump Apple stock, invest in Kleenex.

Apple's legal team is probably going nuts about now.

As a layperson I think it would depend on how much negligence there was on their side, how secure the damaged parties could reasonably consider their data to be, and what the contractual terms re: data security between Apple and their customers were.

This is America...our lawsuits can ignore all that and run on emotion and hysteria alone.

So... sorta like "taking a step backwards is running away" Languish, then?

My opinion is that a celebrity is completely negligent in uploading nude pictures to the cloud. Some of those pictures are conceivably worth 7 figures--certainly well in the 6 figures--in the right venue. Half the world wants access to them. I'm excluding the possibility of Apple affirmatively taking on the risk in a contract.

I'm guessing a large part of the legal profession will disagree with me though.

There's something wrong with about 80% of you.  Have you considered Jesus?  It's a fundamentally flawed moral system, but for some of you, it might be an improvement and it's pretty easy to get into.

Does this fall outside the bounds of Ethical Hedonism?

That is probably so, but I'm not convinced this thread is evidence of that.

not anymore I guess

It's funny how people who consider themselves decent and "white knights", or complain about rape jokes etc. go and watch these pictures and see nothing wrong with that.

Who?  I'm pretty sure most of Languish is retrograde, misogynist and proud of it.

Damn right.
