My friend (and the artist as well) both argue that the images aren't works of someone's art - they're just snapshots. Furthermore, if they didn't want people to take them, they'd update their privacy settings on FB.
What do you guys think?
I think that easily comes from someone totally lacking in intellectual gray matter LOL. It's no more ridiculous then me saying hey I am gonna walk up to his door when he is not home and finding that he left his door unlocked I then proceed to steal all of his worldly possessions... Well if he REALLY didn't want me to steal his stuff he would not have forgot to lock his door. ...Huh? What?
Just because someone does not choose to use methods to deter theft does not mean the law does not exist with the absence of those methods.
So yes, it is stealing, yes it is a crime, Just not a crime that has yet went to trial.
Edit: But that their in is the problem with the world today. It's not enough for it to be a crime. In order for many of the worlds population to find something wrong enough not to engage in they first must find that the risk or conviction rate is high enough to cause them some discomfort. (myself include at times) It's sad really.
