I see your point but isn't there a reason they use stage names when they refer to themselves as whores? It's not illegal to call someone names, but it's certainly not pro-porn. I especially find their "help us keep the porn industry open" banner hilarious. Between this leak and AIM being shut down, there are not going to be nearly as many people getting into the industry. I'm really curious to know what their agenda really is. I don't think it's as simple as revenge.


well, not so sure about extortion. Usually, that would involve taking money for "services" rendered such as protection money mafia style, innit? DOn't think they're asking for money or am I mistaken?

As for losing jobs, people in the US and Canada have lost jobs in schools, for example, after being outed as former porn stars. Never saw anyone suing the schools and even if they did, they came out as the losing party.

IMHO, their only "crime" would be illegaly downloading names from AIM or wherever else if that allegation is true. And even that is not juicy enough to go after them for, especially trans-atlantic. Big e-commerce corporations have had credit card information stolen which has resulted in severe financial damages to different merchants and vendors at all levers and despite that few of the hackers have ever been caught or prosecuted. Some Warez groups were busted but they caused damages running into a few million dollars, even at conservative estimates, to big corporations with a lot of pull. Do you really think that the DoJ or the FBI or anyone else is seriously going to waste their time with something that posts public information about porn stars even if the real names were hacked/illegally obtained?

Not very likely.

And for all the whining that has gone on, I've yet to hear anything about the crossover talents such as Faggot3X and their agents being prevented from coming to the straight side of the business. No one is talking about that. Why? Why aren't trannyfuckers and other assorted butt burglars being prevented from working with females? Is it because their agents, most notably Derek Hay, is powerful within the business? DOes it suit someone's agenda to sweep that under the carpet and talk about other things?

And if folks are so concerned about "harrassement", how come Faggot3x was allowed to get away with constantly harrassing females who had him on their no list? He bombarded their twitter 24/7 and actively worked to get them black balled. Never heard a single whine then
