Everyone following Hong Kong gossip news lately knows that Edison Chen has sex photos with many Hong Kong female celebrities drifting around the internet. I’m not going to post those photos and say much more beyond this. Those photos are real, anyone who has spent any time with Photoshop knows that if you wanted to doctor those photos its possible, but you’d need a lot of time, and you would need to be one of the SFX graphic artist that worked on Cloverfield. Bottom line, it would cost too much money and time to doctor those photos. Small test, take one of those photos and push the contrast to max and then you’ll see how seamless the photos are.
The current state of the internet Blogisphere world is similar to that of Star Trek’s Borg. Your Trial, Judge and Jury consist of everyone making an instantaneous decision on you and whatever you’ve done. Swarm logic! So in today’s day and age everyone wants to see the said controversial scandal photos, then they’re quick to say, “oh that’s so bad” but curiosity got to you! You still actively searched out the photos, took a look and made your own decision, be it misguided in disbelief, or cynical of how they don’t look so hot without makeup and move magic.
Now the question I’m most intrigued by with this whole celebrity sex photo scandal is the newspaper reporting that they’re going to arrest the deviant up loader for doctoring photos and putting them online.
A) the photos are real so can’t slap him with photoshoping, and I’d really like to know which law in HK or ANYWHERE in the world says you can’t photoshop a picture of someone. I’m sure they will argue slander against a celebrity, to which the defendant can just claim, they didn’t know they were famous they just grabbed any old picture off the internet to practice Photoshop techniques, but then again the photos are real so no need to argue on this point.
B) Which law in Hong Kong or anywhere says you can’t upload dirty photos on the internet. Seriously which government asides from China controls the internet, and even in China its just illegal to make porn, but other countries can make its not illegal to look at, China’s great red firewall will just block it. I’d really like to know under which article of which law in Hong Kong is the uploader being arrested for? Triad might chop his ass up, but he definitely ain’t getting arrested.
C) It’s the celebrities own damn fault, with the wonderful world of the internet as a playground all your dirty digital secrets will be revealed. Sure those photos are from a few years back but the internet existed. Edison knew that and I’m sure it was all part of his devious plan to black mail girls back into bed with him anyways.
I do feel sorry for all those involved but in the end they should have known better.
