Agreed. Here's an excerpt from an email I sent to someone before PWL was taken down
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.
