I don't think you can deny that many of the photos were pornographic in nature.
I don't think BDSM really figures into it. That's a completely different subject altogether due to (as you said) issues of consent. Torture, as the journalist said, is always without consent. So the two really have nothing to do with each other.
And personally, I don't see BDSM as inherently pornographic.
