Strict Liability for Viewers in Tort Law of Naked Photos Without Others’ Permission?

Abstract

The infringement of Private rights tort law is elaborated by specific laws and regulations but is not perfect. Especially in the field of network, the existing legal loopholes have not been filled up so far, and thus become the focus of discussion. Given that the major aim of tort law is to recompense victims for damages, holding individual viewers accountable is not acceptable since it would not properly fulfill the goal of tort law. This paper mainly discusses whether collecting and view someone’s naked photos without others’ permission should be regarded as strict liability, and to compensate the infringed and establish an investigation system.
