You're going to try to make a credible argument that you put up a profile on a social networking site with a picture of a model, his age, stats, etc (whatever is minimally required) and somehow people viewing the profile are not supposed to think that the profile belongs to the person in the picture?

Sorry, but your response is a total cop out. You are intentionally deceiving people who are trying to use MySpace for social networking, and you are clearly violating MySpace's terms of service, section 8(14) which says you won't post pictures of another person on Myspace without their consent. (Note that using released affiliate content doesn't count.)

You yourself called the profiles "fake" and said that you're getting emails from people who think they are talking to the model. How can you possibly argue that people don't think that the profiles are real?

As for the "surfers don't have to visit my profiles"... well, of course they don't. But that's about the weakest argument I've ever heard. It's exactly this sort of attitude that gives the adult industry a really bad reputation.

Sounds like you knew you were doing something that wasn't OK and came here looking for people to justify your inappropriate use.

Several people have posted in this thread about how one can legitimately use Myspace to market nondeceptively and in keeping with the spirit of what the site was created for. Please don't be one of the people who helps to ruin Myspace for the legitimate users that want to make use of its valuable resources for its intended purposes.
