Title: Private Model Info Leaked
Post by: Karimala on April 01, 2011, 00:38

Looks like the WikiLeaks phenomenon has hit the porn industry.  After all the problems with IS, this news worries me about the security of our model releases.  One of my models is prominent in the porn industry, and she entrusted me (and the agencies I sent her photos and model release to) with her real identity, and doesn't want her porn name revealed and connected with her real name for personal safety reasons.

What to do?

Might this be an April Fools joke?

Ugh.  :P  It wasn't April Fool's Day yet in California when I posted it!  I need to remember I live at the end of the world time spectrum more often.   :D

But...are you sure it's an April Fool's joke?  The Los Angeles Times and KTLA reported on it on March 31.  http://www.latimes.com/ktla-porn-clinic-leaks,0,4666734.story (http://www.latimes.com/ktla-porn-clinic-leaks,0,4666734.story)  Looks real to me!
