I think Vanessa Hudgens’ latest nude photos is pretty newsworthy in the fact that, wow, is she retarded? Who loses nude photos twice? But apparently it’s highly illegal since it can be proven that she took the pictures herself so there’s no dispute at all in ownership. Interesting.

Had Hudgens been the victim of a peeping Tom, like ESPN reporter Erin Andrews, the photos could remain on the Internet forever, even if she filed a lawsuit and won. Luckily, Hudgens’ hand held the camera and snapped the photos, so she gets to decree where they go.

“The law currently gives a billion percent immunity to let Web sites behave as badly as they want to,” explained Michael Fertik, CEO of ReputationDefender, an online reputation management and privacy company. “Only when the copyright owner comes along does the site have to back down. If by chance you took the picture, you win.”
