I never understood why people liked taking nude pics of each other. It's too hard to control where they go! Do any of you remember what happened to Vanessa Williams, when she won the Miss America pageant? And even if you're married, you see each other every day. Why take nude pics? :roll: If it were me, and I was the subject of the photos, I would be terrified of something like this happening!

That person was a stupid fool. They screwed themselves.

Doesn't anyone have any idea what electronic cameras do?

Let's compare similar situations:
#1-He left these pictures where children could find them!
#2-He made obscene phone calls on "a picture phone"
#3-He practically created his own porn site with a "camera connected to a network"
#4-Finders Keepers?
#5-Who thinks it's kinky to Fk in an elevator, while many elevators have TV cameras?
#6-Who doesn't take seriously the government wiretapping scandal?
#7-Even if you have your own digital camera then it's possible for other people to hack into your computer and see your pictures.
#8-If you use Windows, it typically remembers every picture you look at.
#9-If you don't use Windows, your ISP logs your IP address and the IP addresses of sites you visit.
#10-It is more likely than not that every picture you take with a phone is backed up by your phone company.
... ad infinitum!
Summary:This person alone made and broadcasted the embarrassing pictures.

It is technically incorrect to believe that a communication device only communicates between yourself and someone with which you intend to communicate.
It is technically incorrect to simply ASSUME that a message which hasn't been received by someone you intended to send it to exists only in the sending device.
If you accidentally put the wrong message in the mail, it accidentally goes somewhere!

What a great idea, to make easy money, rather than creating a porn site, $3 million dollars for damage and embarassment, as easy as that, you just have to leave your cell phone and there it is. ;)

Seriously, why on earth McDonalds have to pay a single cent for that BS?

It wouldn't hurt to get a look at those pictures by the way.

That is a lot of money. Nut the people at Mcdonalds said they would hold onto the phone, and they did not. instead they uploaded his pictures onto the web, and looked at his personal information.

Let's say he visited YOU and lost his phone there.
Then lots of other people visit you and one of them finds a phone.
Then you hear from someone who lost a phone at your house.
That's all you know about it.

What did YOU do wrong? How are YOU responsible for his embarrassment?

They said they would hold the phone for him. They obviously didn't do what they said they were going to!

Wait McDonald's gotta hold of the phone or a worker?

Pretty stupid to sue McDonald's if this was done by an individual....

Well it's like they say, don't leave your personal belongings out to where strangers can grab a hold of it. Looks like they got more than they could bargain for...

That was a obscenely stupid thing to do...

This is a case of "Keep your Belongings with You."

And this is another case of "Don't Trust McDonalds."

Never take a photo you be wouldn't mind having show up on the internet.

Simple, right?

Maybe he was setting up McDonald's for a lawsuit and counting on human nature to make it happen. Under the law, employers can be held responsible for employees' actions. I don't think it applies here but I'm not a lawyer.
