I didn't click through. I don't want to know. But I assume this is a paid app.

The mind boggles. What does it mean to have a fake nude view of a real person? Like what is the relationship there to the real nude person? What is the point of that? Why wouldn't I just go all fake and design the most attractive woman or man (depending on my predilection) in the world? This is one of those things that makes me think "Humans are weird." It's also one of those things that makes me think that $5 for an app sold to millions of (mostly) young men would probably make someone very rich.

(the funny part of this for me is that one of my jokes is that I once whispered conspiratorially to my wife: "Psst... do you realize that I'm naked under these clothes?" like it was some unusual thing.)

It says paid removes a big watermark.

>Psst... do you realize that I'm naked under these clothes?

We were deep in a thread somewhere and NFFC says "I'm not wearing any panties!"  ....thread-killer.

I guess we should be having the debate on whether fake nudes of real people should be legal.  Should there be a difference between possession and distribution? If an artist paints a nude of a person without consent but just keeps it for his/her private collection it is different than if s/he sells the work.  Probably what needs to happen is that people will by default own their own image as intellectual property.

Some of my opinions on such topics are too radical for me to put into print, but I'll share with you someday over a beer.

Interesting question.

Question: is it legal to Photoshop someone's head onto another person's nude body and publish it? I believe I've seen some "scandals" that revolved around that.

I think any case law around that would constitute the test cases for this app.
