“I quickly thought about friends who appeared in this magazine before the internet existed. I am deeply concerned that this kind of exposure could be personally or professionally harmful for them. .. While Reveal Digital went through the proper steps to get permission from the copyright holder, there are ethical issues with digitizing collections like this.”

I appeared in the magazine in question, On Our Backs, in 2000. When I made the decision to do so, I knew the publication had a website, but the magazine content was not archived online. I obtained digital copies of my pictures from the photographer, but the pages were never digitized by the magazine.

Nonetheless, Reveal Digital eventually digitized my photos, and I’m okay with that. If you’re going to be in a porn magazine, you have to expect it can come back to haunt you at any time, even decades later. That expectation should be in place before appearing in the print publication in the first place.
