Not necessarily correct. From a contract perspective, it is clear the previous had no intention of selling or gifting the pics and vids to the recipient. It is clearly a mistake without inte t to transfer ownership of the pics or vids. There is also an invasion of privacy issue from a legal perspective.

Even if he did, from a copyright perspective he is not "freely post it". The previous owner transferred ownership of a copy of a copyrighted work. However, he did not license the right to make further copies, or to publicly display the work. And, aside from copyrigbt, there is still an invasion of privacy issue.
