How should the online publication of explicit images without their subjects’ consent be punished?

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

3. A) not likely to happen, and B)

it doesn't have to be 'sex' photos. Heck, it doesn't even have to be nudes. It could simply be pics of you doing something stupid or embarrassing, like picking your nose or getting drunk at a party. Your suggestion is in the same vein as 'if you have nothing to hide, who cares if the NSA spies on you.' Ie, don't do anything 'wrong', and the 'problem is solved'.

So there does need to be some sort of redress available, and probably along the way, we need to have the ability to automatically 'self-copyright' our individual images, such that barring an explicit written contract, you always have the automatic right to demand that your pictures be immediately removed from any website hosting them, no matter who posted them, even the person who took them, if they obtained no written consent from you to use your image online.
