Wired and the ABA Journal have both recently published good articles on the subject of revenge porn. If those legal issues interest you at all, you should be sure to check these out:
ABA Journal - "Victims are taking on ‘revenge porn’ websites for posting photos they didn’t consent to"
[T]here’s no clear legal avenue to penalize posters of revenge porn. Only two states, California and New Jersey, make it illegal to post a sexual photo online without the subject’s consent. Though experts say revenge porn may violate other state statutes, it’s common for police to say no law was broken unless the picture is child porn, of those under 18 when a photo was taken.
We do not need to choose between the internet and women, or between free speech and feminism. These are false and unnecessary dichotomies. Refusing to criminalize revenge porn would not make us misogynists. It would instead make us prudent.
Also, feel free to check out past Cybercrime Review posts about revenge porn.
