An angle which I feel has not received enough attention is the effect that it will have on the post porn careers of all those who are affected. It occurred to me a couple weeks ago when I was on %#%% looking for a mainstream job b/c I'm probably going to quit doing the site within the next couple of months. You can search for members by company and I searched to see if there was a member who worked for either #@$@#$@ or one of the big studios. There were two people. $%$#%%#% and one girl who's job description did not indicate 'performer. The profiles don't give a lot of info, so I Googled her because she could have possibly been someone to try to connect with in hopes of getting a good job and because I thought she was cute. When I search her name, PWL was in the #3 spot and without even clicking on the link, I was able to see her stage name in the description. I don't want to say who it was, but let's just say that she was pretty well known before retiring and, on a spectrum from an ex-performer having done a few Digital Desire photo spreads to an ex-performer having done hundreds of Evil Angel movies, she was way more towards the latter. She's obviously still involved in the industry, but she used her real name on $%$#%% for a reason and should definitely have the right to not have that information out there.

Seeing that performing careers, on average, do not last very long, I really do feel that the major negative effect of PWL is the effect that it has on the post performing careers of performers and I think there would be more success in using that as the primary argument as to why the website should be taken down. The stalker argument is overblown. Stalkers are going to stalk and there is no rhyme or reason as to how they stalk because they're fucked up in the head. I mean, Luke Walton had stalker! The existence of PWL MIGHT make things easier for a few lazy, failed stalkers, but it will DEFINITELY effect the post performing careers of hundreds or thousands of performers looking to move on with their lives and I just think that's a much stronger argument which should be used more. "

In the case of the cop in the post I made when she was 19 her mom got sick and she was in college. She had two choices. Either find a way to make enough money to help her mom out while she was in school or quit school and get a full time job. Through a series of event she met some people who hooked up with a content producer and she ended up making about 8-10 porn movies over the course of a year. She made enough to help her mom who then got better and she left the biz. Then almost 20 years later someone found out about it. She came clean. She even pointed out that she never lied about her past because she was never asked about it, but still it cost her her career. Even if she wins her lawsuit and they are forced to hire her back they will be doing everything in their power to find a reason to fire her.
