Does a photographer have the right to publish a photograph of, say, a
nudist 10-year-old (who is nude at the time)? On the one hand, it's
utterly victimless. On the other hand, it could well later damage a
possible political career of said child. Child is in no position to
judge either way.


Where are the parents when this is happening? I certainly would limit the
permission I gave a photographer to publish a picture of my nude child if I
thought the picture might limit the child's future potential. Of course the
real problem with this example is that we condone the violation of the
privacy of public figures by wanting to know every possibly embarrassing
thing about them, whether it is relevant to the job they are holding or
seeking, or not. I see no relevance of a nude picture of someone as a child,
to the performance of that person as a public figure.
