Every second a sub like http://www.reddit.com/r/photoplunder/[1] is up after this you're basically saying that unless a person has enough money to hire an attorney, or is savvy enough to create a DMCA take down, or find your DMCA procedure to make you do work their stolen nude pictures are fair game. The victims might not even be aware of them.

Yes? Why should Reddit have to check for every piece of content and decide whether it breaks copyright or not? Is this what you want? Why is Reddit the judge and jury for every submission? Reddit has to follow DCMA laws and if they're given a DCMA claim to the magnitude for those other subreddits as they did for /r/TheFappening then they'll probably take the same actions.
Until someone makes a claim then Reddit doesn't have to take action. *Many* claims were made on the leaked images so Reddit had to take action... why is this still a talking point with people... Why is this so hard to understand?

Oh - reddit has DMCA and CDA safe harbor. A lot of the site thrives off the work of others.
What should happen is for the admins to use this moment to prevent the victimization of those in a similar position to the celebrities, but without the financial means, access to legal services, or competence to do it.
This admin cited the decision to take it down based on "you'd be shocked if this happened to a family member" and honestly, I agree with them whole heartedly.
