The ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of a number of bookstores, librarians and publishing groups who feel their First Amendment rights are at risk. As written, the law makes it a felony to display or distribute any nude images of a person taken without their consent. According to the ACLU, though, that doesn't take into account a number of scenarios where displaying or publishing nude photos might not have anything to do with sex or revenge.
