That convenient caveat on eBay actually means "I have NO rights to sell this" and usually, "What I'm doing is illegal." And perhaps, REVENGE PORN.
When every pornography website and every adult DVD and magazine states they conform to FEDERAL LAW and have a model release of age and consent on file, EBAY pornographers DON'T.
What they do is say "sold collector to collector" or say "models are over 18" but NOT, very definitely NOT..."models are over 18 and I have a signed model release that I can show you, with the model holding up her driver's license as proof."
Did you know that most pornographers have this on file? Conforming to FEDERAL LAW, the file where they keep their records will not only have a SIGNED DOCUMENT stating the model consents, and is of age, but also a photo of the model holding up the driver's license that gives the REAL NAME and the AGE on it, and makes it easy to compare the model's photo and fake name in the porn world with the REAL stuff on the driver's license.
DID THIS WOMAN CONSENT? DOES SHE KNOW THIS PICTURE IS BEING SOLD?
DID SOME EX-BOYFRIEND OR HUSBAND FLOAT THIS UP TO AN INTERNET WEBSITE where eBay parasites lurk, waiting to download and grind through a home printer on photo paper?
EBAY has yet to address this issue, or declare in their rules that sellers MUST have a model release of age and consent on obvious recent photos (as opposed to some 1920 dirty postcard).
What's the excuse here? This woman is a SLUT? This woman has some nerve posing for her boyfriend and doing a fantasy of being a men's mag model? So EVERYONE should be able to see her pictures?
It's not just celebrities who are abused via hidden camera pictures and Photoshop jobs. ANY woman and EVERY woman is at risk. It's bad enough that rogue websites get away with it, offering images FREE while making money off banner ads and spyware. But for EBAY to do it, and allow any creep to download images and sell them...THAT is OBSCENE.
