$13mn compensation for pornography

This is worth watching for insight into the industry. I don't know if girlsdoporn, girlsdotoys, BLL Media, Plus One Media, Begin Modeling, Bubble Gum Casting, Bubblegum Films, Bubblegum Media or Clockwork Productions Inc are connected to MindGeek. Pornhub, one of the sites the videos ended up, is a subsidiary though and it's the same shitty business model.

They were deceived, groomed, coerced and raped.

Don't patronise me, QuentinWinters. They consented to appear in porn for money and they're just pissed off because it reached a wider audience than they expected.

I think people are maybe seeing these women as being like those poor women who agree to private photos and videos in the context of a relationship, only to find that this private consensual material has been shared around or uploaded on to commercial porn sites.

They're not.

They answered adverts for porn actors, attended auditions, signed contracts, had sex with strangers in front of a cameraman and sound recordist (presumably with professional lighting) and then took money for their 'performances'. Not a lot of victimhood there, is there? No-one forced them to go through all those stages - it was their choice to appear in porn for financial reward.

Sounds like you dont understand consent hippo.

Hang on a sec.

These women knew what they were doing - they agreed to take money to appear in porn. They had sex with strangers knowing it was being filmed for financial gain. In so doing, they actively contributed to the misogyny, hate and violence that women face every day from men but figured that their need for cash was more important than solidarity with other women.

Don't make them victims, infantilising them by calling them 'young girls' or making out that they were exploited. They demeaned themselves and betrayed other women out of greed and are now only upset because lots of men masturbated over them and not just one.

I'd say this is the standard. Young women being tricked and not told exactly what will happen. It's heartening that the women won this case - I hope it will make more victims dare to come forward and sue. Sue the entire fucking porn industry, destroy it. It's based on abuse.

I've just gone onto one porn clip site and searched for "girls do porn", it gave half a million results.
Those videos will become more popular as the news gets out. sputniknews.com/society/201912021077458630-indian-rape-victim-becomes-most-searched-on-porn-site/ is another example.
How people can watch these videos if they know that the women are being lied to, plied with alcohol & drugs etc

Men get off on the fact these women and girls are lied to, plied with alcohol and drugs etc. It's not that they aren't aware.

How people can watch these videos if they know that the women are being lied to, plied with alcohol & drugs etc... it needs to be more widely reported and discussed that that is the case. It’s false advertising, is it not a trading standards thing apart from the whole sexual assault/rape angle (coercing someone into sex under false pretences).
Gross. I really feel for these women.

It's truly awful. Sorry about the Guardian link but they have covered this:

sorry try that again link

I posted about it here, yesterday

I saw the story on BBC news earlier. Apparently the ‘company’ pride themselves on amateur first time ‘porn stars’ and were telling the women they were for a private collection or for overseas sales and then uploading them to a subscription service and uploading clips onto free porn sites.
