Interesting point.
I'm not sure how it would apply to a site like Lush as it doesn't really fall into the same category as something like xhampster.
There are a number of points made about the liability of image use in the T&C's as well.

Could you argue the boyfriend held the image copyright as he took the photos?
Anything that did crop up relating to 'Revenge Porn' could always be removed. The instantaneous 'I'm going to sue you!' attitude of this case would be totally over the top in my opinion but for one fact:
A simple takedown request would ordinarily be enough to have any offending images removed.

As long as the image isn't depicting anything illegal in nature, and you either own the copyright, or have permission to publish it.

If you are not the image owner, you must have a legal right from the copyright owner to post any images.

"...began publishing pornographic photographs and video of the plaintiff as well as plaintiff's name, occupation, details about her schedule, and other personal and private facts about the plaintiff on various websites."

Firstly, a big sloppy kiss for Gav! 
You do fantastic work on the site and everyone appreciates it very much.
The character count was recently increased in the 'black box' IM chat windows which was a great idea.
A problem I have noticed is that they will let you continue typing past the new character limit without you knowing it - the result being cut-off messages at the other end.
If it was programmed to stop you typing any more into the window once the limit had been reached, this would be ok but would possibly leave you having to go back and re-word it a bit to fit everything in.
Thoughts?

Hi folks,
Thought I would say a few words, as it appears a certain person has dropped me in it *makes eyes at Sprite*
Firstly, the thumbs-up thing was a talking point. It was decided that it might make the site look a little too 'social network'; it also gave the impression to some that it was a new FB integration feature whereby you could click it and post the story link on your FB page.
Medals and stars were rejected as either being too militaristic or for the communism association.
The rosette is a nice icon but the Recommended Read badge it was decided, needed to be completely different in order to differentiate it. Different colours or shapes gave the impression of 'grading' i.e. 1st place, 2nd place etc.
Although the brightly coloured 'Recommended' badges look quite nice (thanks for the examples, Kiki), look what happens when they are sized down to where they need to be:
You also need to take into account any associated copyrights or usage restrictions of pre-made artwork in commercial and non-commercial applications.
We thought the tick was quite good as a universal symbol of approval (you should have seen some of the ones that never made it to the light of day!), but we are playing with a few more ideas in the meantime.
I would like to point out that this was mulled over at length before Gav swapped them over; and clearly quite a lot of thought goes into decisions like this before they are implemented.
As the saying goes, 'stay tuned'.
Have a lovely day!

It was... I think he was going way beyond cruel and unusual punishment.
I'd rather watch Barney and sing the "I love you song", hopping on one foot, while wearing a partially cooked bacon bikini.
But nooooo... Gav is a twisted sort of fellow.
I kinda phased out at the bacon bikini part

what's the cost of a second DB server, if i can ask? i can skip starbucks every other day if i need to
I bet your monthly budget for lollipops, glitter tubes and 'Hello Kitty' sticker packs could cancel out the trade deficit of a small, third world country
