I am not licensed in New York. I provide my answer based on handling hundreds of these cases over the last eight years. You should speak to an attorney about this matter.

Moreover, there may indeed exist a problem with retroactively enforcing the policy after you have relied upon the original...

I am not licensed in Michigan. I answer this question based on my experience handling these matters. My response does not focus on a criminal perspective. Rather, I respond from a civil perspective. From a civil perspective, I disagree that nothing can be done to prevent the publication of the photos. The difference with "Girls Gone Wild" focuses on where the "exhibition" took place.

I would agree with my colleagues. You certainly should speak to an attorney. Ideally, you should speak to an attorney who has handled these matters in the past. Although a technician may be needed, an attorney who has experience in tracking IP addresses and their meaning can also move forward without a retained expert at this time.

Immediately, there exists an invasion of your privacy and a violation of your right to privacy including, but not limited to, the tort (civil claim) for intrusion upon seclusion (assuming your state recognizes this privacy tort.

I am not licensed in Minnesota. My answer arises from my experience in defamation litigation throughout the United States generally. Your question presents a number of issues. But to begin, libel is written defamation. Slander is oral defamation. So, given the written nature of the project, the statements could be defamatory or libelous if false. If the negative statements you make about the individual are not false, they cannot be defamatory or libelous. Not being false can either be...
