The sort of site that puts up naked pictures (real or faked) isn't the sort of site that's going to listen to a petition by enraged Toriphiles. In fact, they'll be happy to get that kind of attention, because it gets more visitors to their site. Tori's people are quite aware of what's available on the Internet and can choose (or not choose) to pursue it as they see fit. At this point, there's rarely that much reason to pursue it. If it were some tabloid publishing pictures, it's one thing, but it's entirely another to waste the time to pursue some luser who just learned how to use Photoshop last week. Even if they were to pursue it, once it's on one website, it's all over the place. Taking it off of one site doesn't come anywhere near solving the problem. /nm ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2003 20:00:36 +0200 From: ruud@torithoughts.org Subject: Re: Tori Naked?!?!

I visited a few of them, pop-up killer armed and ready. Mostly *very* fake pictures done by people with an half an hour photoshop experience at most. And also many normal photo's that few people would categorize as naked (wow, naked arms). > I was immediately appalled, and I'm wondering if there is a way to get it > off of the web.

You could add the words 'naked' and 'nude' to the meta tags of your own Tori Amos website: Subject: Re: Tori Naked?!?! I'm pretty sure.....all those pics ar fakes.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You can only be you but a lot of times it's not enough for people." - Tori Amos ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2003 20:57:59 EDT From: ToriVolta@aol.com Subject: Response to my email on Tori being naked First off, thank you all for sharing your information with me concerning the how to's (or how not's) as to how this problem could be solved. Secondly, I knew that the pictures had to be fake. I've never met Tori, but, as we all do, I seem to know her from her music and quotes, etc. I KNOW that she would never degrade herself enough to pose nude, and I know now that she wouldn't lower herself to eliminate these low class solicitations. She has pride and faith in herself, and us EWF, to not worry over such silly facades. Finally, the reason that I got so mad is because this is the first time I've ever had an artist slandered who I love and respect. She's earned that respect, and I guess, that I believe even non-Toriphiles should show atleast some. I mean, I don't care for Britney Spears or Christina Have-No-Haira, but I would NEVER put up naked pictures of them. But don't get me wrong, I'm not all that naive, in my 23rd year. I know that some people "get off" differently than others, and that a lot of it is distasteful. So in conclusion, thank you all for your response and information. I hope the Labor Day weekend was joyous, safe, and restful. I, on the other hand, had to bury my Grandfather today. But I'm OK. He was tired, and needed to go on to wherever it is we go.
