I think it would be an affront to their memory to remove any content featuring a model who's died.

We had a model who died and he was quite proud of the work he'd done for us. Why would we take that away from him?

It's not like they pulled Rebel Without A Cause when James Dean died.

We in the adult industry have to be proud of what we do.

Yes, it's hard when people are out there promoting their 50-load weekends and their bareback conversion porn, but hey.. some of us are proud of what we do anyway.
I think you and Chaz are right on, and looking back, I am not 100% sure we made the right decision in our case. The reason we did not release it was more to protect his wife and baby from any embarassment, because he never mentioned to us that he had a wife and kid.

That is not to say that she did not know he was making the video...maybe she did and maybe she was proud of him, etc.

But I always try to error on the side of caution. I would hate to bring pain (apart from spanking pain) to anyone for any reason if I could avoid it.
