|buddy|, how many times were you advised not to hang your dirty laundry here and to get a lawyer? This is not a legal board but, just like an asshole, we all have an opinion and someone came here asking for an opinion. The posters in this thread damn sure did not seek you out.

That does not change the facts. I did not ask for legal advice.
Media is important and this site was the first one i wrote at because i thought it had an understanding of the webmaster part of my site which is 100% legal. Instead i got people who thought it might be more interesting to post my private site and pretend that it was part of my membership sites.
The truth is that just because i'm Mistress does not mean that i cant be a webmaster. But thats what most said.
I dont run from my problems and the police can see that it made a huge mistake. But i thought i would share it seeing how this site ended up in the paper.
All infomation was taken from news groups and sites some not even mine. That goes to show you that these types of boards are watched.
Dont you understand that if they can police boards that anyone can be accountable to have to answer to third hand information. its does not have to be true to use as probable cause.
I guess what was truly upsetting is watching everyone attack and bash each other. That cant be good.

Are you sure? Then what did you mean by "need help" in this thread's title? Did you just expect us all to ask where we should send our donations to your cause?

The police took all of your computers and you are losing your home, yet you have both the capability and time to post here. Toss in the alleged harm you are suffering from our words and one might think that you are either a glutton for punishment or a pathological liar.

By the way, in order for anyone's statements to you or about you to be considered libelous, you'd need to prove that those statements damaged your reputation. Which reputation would that be?

These were my opinions in November:

There is a time to keep your fucking mouth closed.

This is my opinion in January:

Good luck, Webwoman |waves|

I had a really good response written, well thought out, filled with the required number of sighs and pokes.

I deleted it.

The article(s) are nice, but without proper attribution, there is no way to tell who really said what. Quoting from one article without saying where it was found, and then quoting another article underneith it that appears to be written by a blogger doesn't do much for me.

Again, each and every one of these "articles" appears to have been written with only two sources: You and your lawyer.

I went back and looked at page one. Each and every one of us said "stop posting, get a lawyer". Yet, here you are, posting on and feeding the frenzy. I truly don't get it.

Doesnt change the fact that you were trolling for donations either.

is this sybil posting because it's always the same board name but constantly clarified by "i'm the videophotographer" or some other person.

IF you "all" were making money and obviously you have access to a computer.. BUCK it up and get back to work. if you are a webmaster, as you claim, make some $$. Or go buy/rent another computer..i mean they are pretty cheap even in uptight CT.

In the amount of time you been here airing your dirty laundry you could have built 45 free sites and had money coming in already.

So shut the fuck up and get a lawyer immediately.

Additionally, you have just gone through a scary and difficult time. You should know that it has just begun. It will get much worse from here on out and will last a minimum of two years of fucked financials, major inconvenence, threat to your freedom, and maybe even an upcoming incarceration and payment of a bond that depending on your state maybe many tens of thousans of dollars.

Unless you have 50,000+ to invest you will end up loosing on some aspect of this matter. So don't be more stupid and think a jury is an option. Close this matter as expeditiously as possible take your lump and move on .. or out.

A note to all naive people running porn sites:

As much as you're pleased with yourself and popular at parties... you should remember that to most others you are a smut peddler slightly above lizard on the scale of evolution and they want to stamp you out. You are lucky to even be in this business.... a decade ago someone would be throwing combustible materials in your winows or meeting you in an alley. Prosecution has always been a sister to pornography. If you are not prepared for the prospect don't cry later
If you had done your due diligence when starting this business and done a simple internet search of news articles on the subject you would have found that this kind of prosecution is fairly common in different locations over the years in amost identical circumstances as yours.

One lesson that your exprience illustrates is if you are on the web don't operate locally. If you operate locally stay the hell off the web.

Another is: have plenty of cash offsite and a backup of your webspace in multiple locations.

Another is: have lunch with a lawyer at least once every three months. If you're not playing tennis with him/her you've got the wrong lawyer. Don't have a lawyer? Next....

The porn biz is a war zone. People and orgnizations are trying to demolish you, ruin you, ridcule you, hurt you, put you in jail. They go to bed thinking about the subject and they wake up thnking about the prospects. They are obsessed. They have power. They have guns, and cars, and radios, and snoops, and snitches, and subpoenas, and more guns.

It is also a business ripe with fraud and criminal enterprise and an easy political target. There's a lot of stuff swirling around this. Many, many, WM's should really reconsider.

Phew... I feel so much better already with that off my chest!
