The OP brought up the question of: Whether nude photos of celebrities should be be sold to the public without their consent?
I'd say definitely NO (but I still like to look at them).

That...umm...raises...the question of whether nude photos of anyone should be taken at all, when a situation of inherent and/or reasonable expectation of privacy exists?
Anyone with money can now purchase a UAV with a telephoto lens, fly it near a home, and take photos or video of inside a person's castle home/bedroom.

Barbara Streisand once sued the Cali Coastal Commission/Google Maps which was taking ariel photos of the coastline for scientific....um...posterity.
-However, those were taken at ~5K+ ft, and could be argued to be unspecific.
-This lawsuit brought on the "Barbara Streisand" effect, where multiple websites hosted copies of these photos out of protest.
