"Don't pretend like you haven't sent nude pictures of yourself to someone you feel comfortable sharing with."
The key words? "Feel comfortable." Alyssa, do you really "feel comfortable" knowing that a dozen EBAY sellers have stolen images of you, pulled images from your films out of context, or Photoshopped your face onto stolen porn photos? Maybe she doesn't know it's going on. Most stars are too busy to be shopping the porn area of EBAY!
The question is how does one even contact a big star like Milano to let her know? She's wrapped up in a burrito of publicity and management flaks who make sure she doesn't know what the reality is. It's THIS abuse:
The "Celebrity Nude" Hacking scandal is telling the world that the Internet is loaded with abusive, aggressively hurtful people who delight in humiliating celebrities. The fact that EBAY is a main site for it...is not acceptable.
Among the dozens out-doing each other in stealing and copying Photoshop jobs on the Internet, making their own, or pretending fakes are real are a half-dozen very despicable ones:

Where do they get these images from? They STEAL them. They haul them off websites, they make "screen caps" out of movie scenes, they scan them from copyrighted men's magazines. They don't own ANYTHING.
Logic would tell you that EBAY should not allow sellers to offer ANY celebrity "nude" "fantasy" or "digital art" items that are not licensed. These sellers should, aside from the salacious image, have another image next to it: the SIGNED document, stating age and consent, from Alyssa Milano and the others.
The "thrill" behind celebrity nude images is usually not the image itself, but the fact that it's being circulated WITHOUT PERMISSION. This is photographic rape. The pleasure comes from controlling a woman, and doing something a woman doesn't want being done. A blurry upskirt image of Lindsay Lohan is treated with cheers with delight on Internet forums, and cries of "I'm fapping to it right now! Har har!" Why, when these guys can see much better pictures in any sex magazine, or doing a free search on Google? Because they can feel superior to Lohan. They are in control. They have the power. They can humiliate her. She can't do anything about it.
EBAY can do something about it on their own website. They can add these "celebrity nude" items to the "offensive materials" list that includes underage photos, KKK memorabilia, "candid" images taken without knowledge, "nudist magazines," and other things they don't feel are worthy of their website.
