That is what I call exploitation.

Nismo, while I respect and appreciate the passion from which you state your opinion - I find myself totally in disagreement here.
You say "you were profiting off of someone's career in the adult industry." Almost as if to imply a pimp/whore relationship. It denegrates the skill and investment of the photographer.
People die all the time - but the world doesn't grind to a halt because someone passes away. If an employee of a company dies, the company doesn't pull all the product off their shelves that the employee produced during their employment. Photography is the product produced by the combination of a model and photographer working together.
Let's turn this around hypothetically. Let's say the photographer dies. Should the model take down all the images from the website that he shot for her?
