just read this!!!!! wow shocked and pleased...

They should have been  sued for even ?250 000. It is obvious AW has an attitude problem and  treat people differently depending on their mood. I feel sorry for her cause who ever did this (if the knew her) must have told / given the profile details to people that knew her, even thought they never found who did it and the fact it was over a year  would have convinced people it was real.

I didn't know AW was an american company. I think AW is it own worst enemy by raising it funds through a credit system (private galleries), as it is just going to get abused easily. I think if someone does have private galleries you should have to verify yourself. I read a thread on a forum last week where one guy was asking how to get back credits worth ?16 000 he raised using fake profiles on AW. I would happily pay a membership  fee vs using gallery credits as it would make life so much  easier for everyone. Obviously, web camming, you good as verify yourself cause you are live on camera so getting credit from that is ok.

Just my opinion 

I didn't know AW was an american company.

I am not quite sure how they come to that conclusion, Adultwork was run through a company registered in Belize, so the lady may have taken that company to court. Unfortunately, taking a person or company to court and "winning" does not mean you will get any money. The Belize company was an offshore company so getting money out of them may not be that easy.

Adultwork web sites are now registered to Ubard Investments Limited, some seem to think it is a Hong Kong company, but it has an address in Malta.

If the lady took the Belize company to court it may no longer exist and if it does how will you get any money from it? Unless the people behind Adultwork pay her this will have been a complete waste of time and just put more stress and frustration on her life.

I feel sorry for the lady and what she went through and I hope that Adultwork pay her something in compensation, they were completely in the wrong from the way it reads but we do not know all the facts. They may also have made a cash offer in the first instance and it been refused.

It is actually not that easy for people to find out who is behind nominee companies, not even HMRC, as they can often be part of a network of companies including offshore foundations, set in many jurisdiction. HMRC has not the power in some parts of the world and even America's Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has no power to investigate in certain areas. Due to 911 things have tightened up a lot and even Switzerland has started to cooperate with other tax authorities.

Also if you take the company to court in the UK I am unsure how you would process that court order in a foreign country. The cost of this could run into several thousands of pounds as many of the shell companies that own the offshore company you are suing will be registered in various parts of the world to make identification hard

But the bottom line is, if you take a company to court and you win, even in this country, if the company is no longer in existence, you get nothing...

Adultwork web sites are now registered to a new company andf regardless of if the same people are behind it you can not take action against them.

I feel sorry for the lady involved and wonder on what advice she went to the High Court, unless she has been paid.

They do not say if Aw defended the action, but I assume that as they have not said they did not, especially if the company has now been wound up with no assets.

She sought damages against AW Systems Ltd for libel, harassment and misuse of private information.

Judgment was made in her favour after the defendant failed to enter an appearance.

Great! So its a guy thats fucked aw up for half the girls losing their profiles. Why am I NOT surprised!

Took them 18 months to remove the profile apparently....

That is absolutely disgusting when you think that other escorts are having their profiles removed over the slightest thing and quick sharp. Maybe this profile had no money connected to it so AW didn't see any benefit in removing it.

This is a bit off topic perhaps, but this story being in the news does worry me that if my family had a suspicion of what I do for a living and didn't know where to look, now they know AW exists!

On the story itself, I'm inclined to think she may not get her money, not for a long time at least and without paying more legal costs of her own too perhaps. Also, it's disgusting that the police investigated her for thinking she was a prossie.
