Ex-girlfriend/boyfriend posting nude photos of their ex.

I think Moore claimed it was legal if the person submitting the photos actually took the photo, as they held the copyright, and even if they didn't he was protected under DMCA.

The person who takes the photo does own it. But despite owning the photo there are still lots of things you can't do with the photo (like make money with it) without the signature of the "model" you photographed.
