I think nowadays whatever you do or say can become public knowledge through Facebook or Twitter pretty instantly.
Looking at those pictures, they look pretty professional. Did Ayumi's dancers seriously not consider them to appear anywhere? Did they really think they were for "private" use only?! If so, I think they were pretty naïve on their part.

But it's a completely different situation if the pictures "accidentally" leak. In this case the pictures were made public, put on a video on youtube and were going to be put in a public photobok, all by the very person that promised them they would be private in the first place. Yes, it's true, the pictures could become public by many means, but in this case Leslie, the one who took the pictures and the one who promised them they would be private, published them himself, and they have all the right to be mad at him for doing that.
And why should the dancers realize that he was going to do that? Leslie was a close friend to Ayu and has done shoots for her "privately" before. How would they realize that Leslie was actually going to use their pictures to promote a photobook for his own career after he promised them they would be private and a gift to his supposedly very close friend, Ayu. In any case Leslie has betrayed them and Ayu by doing that. You say they should have expected that, but they trusted him as a friend, why should they expect that he would be such a traitor? I don't know about you, but I tend to trust people I consider my friends...
