X-Art? How About UNWILLING "MODELS" of REVENGE PORN?

Not too long ago, I mentioned Sheriff Jackie James, the lawyer who is getting her pussy...uh, POSSE...together to try and name and shame a bunch of people who illegally downloaded porn owned by her client the X-Art company.

Ya know, there are worse crimes going on, related to porn.

One of them is REVENGE PORN.

This is where an asshole breaks up with his slutty girlfriend, and tosses her photo all over the place to tell the world...uh...she's a SLUTTY EX-GIRLFRIEND.

Yes, stupid girls have always gone for creepy bastards, and it's a VERY stupid girl that trusts a guy with naked pix of her. BUT the plain legal fact is that she did not sign a model release for age and consent.

Shouldn't that mean something in this fucked up world?

Apparently, no.

First off, most REVENGE PORN sites and CHAN sites and other childish places for misogynists to be obnoxious, are run by weasels who know how to hide. They also know how to play the DMCA game: "Oh, just send us a form with all your contact information, address, phone, etc., and state under penalty of perjury you didn't authorize us to throw your photos around, and we'll take them down. And gosh, if somebody re-ups, do it all over again."

Did you know that DESPITE Federal laws about models in porn being of legal age and having consented, only 15 of America's 50 states actually have a law against REVENGE PORN?

That's a disgrace. Even eBay has rules on its site that "amateur" and "voyeur" and "hidden camera" photos can't be sold, even in their sneaky "everything else; adult" section. Of course, it's unlikely a girl will discover that an eBay seller has downloaded her photos off a REVENGE PORN site, and is printing them out for a few bucks each. She's also not likely to be aware that cheap-creep eBay sellers download a thousand pix off a website, put it on a CD-R, and sell it for $4.95. Her picture could be among those "rhythmically admired." Ha ha ho ho hee hee. It's up to the victim to go find the abuse.

Happily, one vole has been caught, and because he's been so smug and outrageous about it, he's paying the price.

He was just too blatant. It was such obvious extortion even the lax rules of the Internet couldn't save his ass. If he just ran a site called "Real X-Housewives and Girlfriends" or something, and pulled the Renault trick ("I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED that an uploader wouldn't have a signed model release...") he'd still be in business. He'd be like a hundred other weasels in the zoo, offering subscriptions to get all the content, and shrugging that Kickass and various hidden porn-lover torrent sites hacked his stuff for free downloads.

GOOGLE (yes, of course it comes down to them) is too busy screaming about "FREEDOM" and making a fortune pointing people to the illegal downloads to do the right thing. Which is to stop intimidating legislators and let them pass laws against copyright abuse.
