That's a straw man argument.

No one is saying any of the the celebrities only have themselves to blame. However, if there's an easy step to take that can prevent this from happening 100% of the time - i.e. not taking nude photos with your cell phone - you'd be negligent not to do so, particularly if you know you'd be a highly coveted target for theft and disclosure.

Robbing a jewelery store is morally wrong, but jewelery stores don't rely on moral arguments and public condemnation to prevent theft, they install security.

As I said earlier, I have a 20 yr old niece, and you can bet I'd point to this and say, "If you don't want this type of violation, don't be stupid enough to take nude photos with your cell phone" rather than saying "Go ahead and do whatever feels good, and shame on anyone who takes advantage."
