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. That's reprehensible.

But that's not Reddit's fault any more than it's a hosting service's fault if I use their mail routers to send insulting emails to politicians. Nothing illegal has happened. If Reddit decided it was their job to enforce a morality of their choosing, it would not be a service worth using. We all might generally agree on what's reprehensible, but I bet we don't agree in what's creepy, or rude, or lame, or embarrassing, etc. Tons of people are likely offended by /r/blackpeoplegifs, /r/toosoon, /r/imgoingtohellforthis, etc. Should they be banned?

What /r/photoplunder and /r/TheFappening had in common were that they do actual measured harm to the victims exploited in a very particular fashion. If they can have a rule against sexualized minors - they can have a rule against sexually exploiting people.
