    Except it is the accused spreading the photo of their own accord. The argument that theyre being protected by prosecuting them for copyright infringement doesn’t make sense.

      No, and it doesn’t need to, as they are unrelated.

      They do own the copyright. The basic intention is to protect the innocent, but it does not rule out any other uses.
