Now, with the help of an inventive lawyer, the young woman known as Amy ”” her real name has been withheld in court to prevent harassment ”” is fighting back.

She is demanding that everyone convicted of possessing even a single Misty image pay her damages until her total claim of $3.4 million has been met.

    Whole article worth a read. Amy has already collected $170,000 in restitution. Some high salaried people have been caught. If this idea holds up in court, it could really put a dent in this horrible industry. The money won’t counter act the psychological damage to the victims, but it is much better than nothing.
    In the Fiaht,
