And it was said privately that somebody filmed. Doesn't make it right but neither is releasing a private tape.

I just don't understand how private sex tapes get leaked. First of all, do people really regularly film themselves having sex? Also, surely only the couple would have a copy, and surely you'd trust someone before making such a tape, no?

I'm just amazed each time it happens.

In the digital age, it was probably on someone’s phone that got compromised.

In most states if you're party to a conversation you have a right to record it and share it with others if you'd like. Federally it's legal too, including phone calls. Some states do restrict recording without informing all parties, but most don't as it's important means of protecting yourself sometimes.

I emphasized "if you're party" above because it's an important distinction. In many situations you cannot record the conversation of others if you're not an active participant, though there are exceptions for things said/done in public and in/on your property.
