I recently saw the long post about artistic nudity and was unsure. I took some pictures at Mardi Gras but did not post any with any nudity. I put a password on the gallery anyway since I was sharing with friends. Since this isn't public, can I post those pics as long as the password is on the gallery? I just wanted a clarification. Thanks
"A photo is like a hamburger. You can get one from McDonalds for $1, one from Chili's for $5, or one from Ruth's Chris for $15. You usually get what you pay for, but don't expect a Ruth's Chris burger at a McDonalds price, if you want that, go cook it yourself." - me

We have experimented with it and I know of at least one user who has explicit permission from us to continue but I have to say that as a practical issue, most of the experiments have resulted in a black eye for us and some serious rants from offended customers.
The customer I gave permission to is a professional woman photographer who photographs women in lingerie, presumably for their significant others.
The ones that have failed spectacularly and repeatedly are ones where we granted permission provided the gallery titles were not R or X-rated, passwords were used, etc.
Somehow passwords got fumbled or placed in bios or gallery titles. We had to engage furious subscribers in never-ending dialogue about why we thought gallery titles like "Ease into my hot" — oh, never mind, I can't think of a single way to describe what came next — really were R and X-rated, that using smugmug to solicit prostitution wasn't what our other subscribers with children loved about our brand, etc.
The anger with which both sides spoke to our help desk people made it clear to us that granting permission to have nudity in the galleries was simply untenable.
I wish we had a better answer for you.
Thanks,
Baldy
What about non-public-galleries or sharegroups? These are not accessable/searchable for users without a correct link and therefore can't offend someone by accident.
Just asking in case I'll have some nudity pictures and want to put them in my private backup-galleries.
Thanks,

Sure sounds like it created a lot of trouble for you. I can understand why you want to be rid of it. Not a problem for me - the next nude I shoot will be my first. But i was curious. Thanks for the answer.

Taking self-portraits doesn't count :D
I think it's a good idea not to allow any...that way you will be fair across the board.

I would do it myself, but I'm obviously very busy with my regular job.

What about this gallery? http://stevelutzphoto.smugmug.com/gallery/318973 (warning, topless pictures)
Or this section on the same site?

We'd have to charge *a lot* more than $30-100 / year if we had to look at every photo.
There are 16,000,000 of them, and many tens of thousands of new ones get added each day. That's a lot of man-hours.
It'd be like insisting the phone company listen to every phone call to make sure nothing illegal was going on.
