It might not be normative in parts of the world (even the western world) but I still have the right to hold that view and to condemn those who emailed to try destroy the woman's career as immoral (evil is a terrible term). Regardless of your disagreement with my view I have the right to hold it. And based on recent history I'd bet I'm on the right side of history here.

Maybe the emailers wanted to maintain the reputation of the law school? I mean, if a law school becomes known for graduating porn actresses (even if both ex and amateur), it's reputation could diminish somewhat. Isn't there something in the law about lawyers needing to be of solid integrity (decent upstanding citizens)? Taking money to have sex with stragers while agreeing to be filmed could be seen as a demonstration of poor morals by many.

You definitely have the right to have your view of her behaviour, but I think you probably have to respect that others see it differently. Also you're probably not on the rights side of history. I think we are becoming more tolerant of things that people do in their personal lives, but I don't think we're going to see porn normalised. The easiest way for attractive young women (or men?) to make money is porn, and I don't suggest that any of us want our 18 year olds taking on that hobby to pay for whatever. While most people would be 'more forgiving' I don't think for a second that most people would support their kids doing porn for cash. Just because there's movement in some areas we may see as 'progress' doesn't mean that the needle keeps moving that way, nor does it imply things are black and white. We're just starting to understand the social implications of young people doing porn for a few dollars at age 18 and having it follow them for the rest of our lives, I think we may start to develop a more nuanced view as time goes on.
