My statement had to do with classifying already widely distributed material as “revenge porn”.
If you are the original distributor, then you are criminally liable (just like with leaking secrets). If you redistribute to extort money or the actual content is illegal ( as is the case with CSAM, which several of the celebrity leaks allegedly were), then you are also criminally liable.
It is not a crime to merely redistribute already published images, it is however possibly a copyright violation. It would be different if all the individuals were either individually or collectively trying to extort Hunter Biden, but since it was simply image sharing it is subject to the same laws as sharing any other pornographic image of an adult.
