Publicación de imágenes privadas con fines de lucro

Explicación Simple

Si alguien publica fotos privadas de otra persona para ganar dinero, eso es un delito. No se puede hacer sin el permiso de la persona en la imagen.

Es como si alguien publicara un diario personal de otra persona en línea para venderlo, sin que esa persona lo supiera o lo permitiera.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan encuentra fotos privadas de su exnovia, Ana, y decide publicarlas en una página web para ganar dinero. Aunque cree que puede hacerlo, está cometiendo un delito porque Ana no le dio permiso y tenía derecho a que esas imágenes se mantuvieran privadas.
