Is Anyone Up? was a pornographic submission website. It allowed users to anonymously submit nude photographs or streaming media of any person (above the legal age limit) to its database. The website was closely associated with the metalcore and post-hardcore music scene, featuring and depicting numerous nude photos of musicians of the genre, in addition to their fans. During its two-year run, Is Anyone Up? was subject to great controversy due to its submissions being driven by revenge porn submissions. These submissions were mainly nude photographs of a person submitted by a former romantic partner of that person displayed in the images. It was revealed that many of these images were hacked from email accounts. As a result of a combination of the controversy, numerous death threats and lawsuits aimed at the founder and owner Hunter Moore, and campaigns dedicated to having the website taken down, the website was shut down on April 19, 2012.〔http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/04/19/isanyoneup-is-now-permanently-down/〕 ==History and background== Is Anyone Up? was founded in late 2010. Founder Hunter Moore stated the idea for the site came from a woman who continuously sent him exposing pictures, he then created a blog hosting nude photographs and it eventually became isanyoneup.com. As of November 2011, the website netted as much as $13,000 monthly. Moore said he spends generally 12 hours five days a week managing posts. He also said that the website has over 30 million page views a month. Each submission to the website usually follows the same formula of depicting a man or woman's social networking website profile thumbnail (such as their Facebook or Twitter profile) and then depicts images of them clothed before revealing images exposing their genitalia, or even in some cases, engaging in sexual acts such as masturbation. Each submission line then ends with a "reaction image", usually showing a still or animated gif file of a popular culture scene or Internet meme as a satire "reaction" to the shown images. Hunter Moore states that he takes legal precautions before uploading people onto the site, initially verifying the age of the people submitted through social networking sites and sends the IP information of people who submit photos of underage individuals to a lawyer in Las Vegas who turns it over to law enforcement. Other categories of the site exist such as "Daily Hate", a topic that features angry reactions from people who have had their pictures posted without their consent. On April 19, 2012, the website was sold to an antibullying group by Moore. He posted an open letter explaining his decision.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bullyville.com/?page=press&id=108 )〕 He left an open letter on BullyVille.com explaining why he did so to anyone who attempts to open the isanyoneup.com domain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bullyville.com/?page=articles&id=358 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Is Anyone Up?」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
