And just why do you consider someone "low" simply because they compared adult entertainment to record sales?
Business is business. Period.
Its a rather simple formula. A photographer makes an investment in hiring a model. Add to that the funding for camera and lighting gear, studio space, props, costumes, assistants....whatnot. Webhosting, transaction processing fees, administration, advertising & marketing, etc. In exchange, the model gets paid for the modeling gig she contracted for.
So then said model unfortunately passes away. So now, by your logic - the photographer is expected to take down the 'product' from the shelf and no longer make a return on his investment?
That's confusing business with personal affairs.
The comparison between record sales and model photos is quite suitable IMO - as such both are a business commodity...a product. Others have already said that removing the images
wouldn't take them out of internet circulation anyways. Same as if you took - let's say all Queen albums off the shelves since Freddie Mercury passed away in 1991 - the music would still live on through radio, personal collections, libraries & archives.
People have to take responsibility for their own actions. If they decide to enter the adult entertainment industry - they're responsible for understanding the full magnitude of their decision.
