Miley Cyrus upskirt shot: Child porn?

"Miley Cyrus upskirt shot: Child porn?" "Blogger Perez Hilton posts a link to an alleged upskirt photo of the 17-year-old -- and could face serious charges." The photo in question has since been yanked down, but the image is allegedly of Cyrus climbing out of a car wearing a dress and no underwear. Censored up-skirt image.
More on Perez and up-skirt shots in this Guardian article: He pioneered upskirt shots. Can we pay a bigger tribute?

The article discusses whether or not Perez Hilton should be charged? Thinking the discussion would be more on the legality of taking action against him.

Without actually wanting to take a stand on anything, I would like to point out that it strikes me as emblematic of something that a photograph that features the nudity of a minor is automatically child pornography. Are upskirt shots of adults automatically considered pornography?

While the subject matter is obviously sensational, the discussion about the legality of taking action against blogger Perez Hilton is pretty serious. I don't like him and I find Miley Cyrus to be another tart of the week but these issues do effect people.

I think this whole thing is an attempt from Salon to get google hits ("Miley cyrus"+porn). I bet at least one or two twisted individuals has been searching that string every hour of every day for 4 years now.

This is a stupid post and it should be removed. Metafilter is too good for this low crap.

...as well as this are why I posted the links.
Another pop-star gone bad is not really the subject, we've all been there and done that. But the legal and ethical issues of this are something to discuss.

If she can't afford underpants, Disney must not be paying her enough.

I think charges should be filed against her parents. When I was still in high school we were reminded to put on clean underwear daily in case we got in an accident. I don't see how this is any different. Further evidence of the erosion of vital parenting skills in this once-proud country.

Are you saying that discussing events that occur in the media that affect people ethically and legally are not worth discussing on metafilter?

Litmus test: Go downtown and candidly snap a few photos under several skirts. If her face turns red, there may be a correlation. If your are arrested in under 2 hours, I think you can safely refute the null hypothesis on this one, dude.

The fact that Perez Hilton is actually a public figure is a damning indictment of our culture.

I want to comment before it's ganked: If this is what it takes to get rid of Perez Hilton? GO FOR IT! OK. I've said my piece. Buh-bye, Perez.

Isn't this EXACTLY what happens at the end of the South Park episode about Britney Spears? The paparazzi slowly turn away from Spears' lifeless form, and spot their new prey, Miley Cyrus, and then shamble off to pursue her to the grave?
