The search and seizure of Silva's property prompted a vigorous discussion on the forum, called "Greenguy and Jim's Ultimate Adult Webmaster Board." When the warrant was still sealed, other posters on the forum looked at some of Silva's websites, which included EmpressM.net, Northeastgoddess.com, and Fortressofpain.com. The web posters read descriptions of the services she provided at rates ranging from $300 per session to $1,000 for an overnight stay, and came to a similar conclusions as the one that police may have come to.
"Gonna be hard to fight the prostition (sic) rap when you accept donations or tips for sexual services, whether it involves intercourse or not," one poster wrote.

If you have an interest to know what is really taking place then read this I am the videographer at EmpressM.net. As you may be aware, the Enfield CT police have kept everyone in the dark as to why they raided Michelle's home business. The police have made several contradicting statements to the press, as to the nature of the search and seizure. After countless blogs began circulating around the internet, as well as local newspaper coverage, the Enfield Police released the affidavit to the Hartford Advocate (before notifying us and our attorney, Daniel Silver).
The affidavit contains scrambled text from our website, EmpressM.net. It also contains a 3rd party blog, written by one of the actresses who star in the videos. The detectives, William Cooper and Michael Bailey, however, edited out the parts of the blog which reveal it is actually a review of a video shoot written by one of our actresses. Nowhere does the affidavit explain the nature of EmpressM.net to be an adult membership website, in which viewers pay $29.95 to watch videos in the privacy of their homes.
I was present with Michelle Silva, also known as Empress M, at the time she applied for an adult home-based business at the Enfield Town Hall to be called "M Consulting". The Zoning Enforcement Officer, Wayne Bickley asked her the nature of the business, to which Michelle told him she creates adult content for an on-line website. The permit application actually contains the words: "Adult content, adult-based membership website "(Bickley omits those words when speaking to the press however, and simply states, "membership website"). He and the town clerk had no problems with the permit application at the time, and both signed it. Bickley also adds in a statement to the Journal Inquirer, he intends to consider action of his own when he finds out more from the police. He did not tell the police however, when they asked him on 11/07/05 a week before the raid, that M Consulting was an adult business (as described above). Strangely, Bickley was present at the raid, and when Michelle and I revealed to the detectives it was Bickley who signed the permit application he shouted, "It was for M Consulting"! Appearing angry, Bickley immediately charged out the front door and never returned. The detectives appeared puzzled. One of the detectives said, "Thats funny, Wayne Bickley is the one who started all of this".
The copy of the affidavit, sent to the Hartford Advocate, by the Enfield Police indicates the police were sent anonymous letters. The sender claimed to have discovered EmpressM.net while surfing the internet. The sender was able to look up Michelle's address on her U.S.C 2257 compliance statement and referred to it as a "privacy policy". The sender urges the police to look it up themselves. The detectives fail to mention in the Affidavit, EmpressM.net is actually an adult website that members pay $29.95 to watch video, nor do the detectives clearly identify "privacy policy" as actually being the U.S.C. 2257 Compliance Statement as required by Federal Law.
The Affidavit, prepared by Detectives Cooper and Bailey presents a mish-mash of 3rd hand statements, anonymous letters and blogs taken out of context. I am troubled that an anonymous person can look up our personal information on the U.S.C. Compliance Statement and without first identifying themselves, present it to an organization such as the local police, who in turn use that trust to raid our home and ruin our lives.

P.S. In a raid that would take nearly five hours to conduct, the police seized our computers, monitors, cameras, content and nearly all of our personal effects including my personal cell phone, thus in effect preventing us from be able to earn a living. We have not been arrested or charged for anything. Michelle is about to lose her home she has owned for more than ten years.
