YEah.. I really wouldn't worry about it. But yeah... If you want to get back at her, do forward it to her parents. She obviously wants the world to see.

It's just sex... people get so upset about it.

I do not know of any legal reason the ex could not have done that, so I do not know how you would get the law involved.

You have to remember, some people DO get upset about it. Having porn of yourself on the internet isn't going to reflect well on you if you're applying for a job, or if you already have one. Legally speaking, an employer CAN fire you (or choose not to hire you) based on your morals, and there's a significant number of people who would consider making pornography (and unmarried sex, mind you) immoral, or at the least, irresponsible.

Yeah, I see your point, I just feel that those kind of people aren't going to be jonesing around internet porn sites. (Unless his ex named him specifically. Then it gets hairy... and legal.)

I would honestly try to keep an open mind about it, and maybe have a laugh or two. If you keep a positive attitude, everything will turn out fine, or at least better. Of course, getting back at the ex is always an option, just keep it on the prank level, so no physicality or illegality.

Not in the UK. An employers personal opinions and prejudices cannot affect whom they employ.

If an employer believes that an employee's personal activities may reflect poorly on the company's hiring practices, they're allowed to not hire that person. This is the case in the US, and I'm pretty sure it's the same in the UK. For example, it's legal in the US (and I believe the same to be true in the UK) to not hire someone who is an open and vocal supporter of white supremacy in their personal time.

At the very least, they provided entertainment.

As far as I'm aware it is not the same, at least not in the circumstances being discussed in this thread. If it was something like somebody getting very drunk and causing a hit & run, then yes the person can be fired by a company. But something like a sex video posted on the internet really wouldn't affect being employed in the UK.

If the employer knew about the video before he hired the person, he "could" still turn down the person and claim it was for reasons other than the video, especially if he kept his knowledge of the video secret. Knowing that the video is out there could still affect an employers decision even if they technically aren't allowed to not hire them on the basis of that. Then the applicant would have to find some way to prove that the prospective employer knew about the video if he wants to protest against his rejection.

It all really boils down to whether or not his ex named him in the sex vid. If she didn't, there would really be nothing that would let potential employers find out about it...

Also, he could blackmail her about it.... threaten to send it to her parents (and possibly her work) if she doesn't take it down.

Doesn't really matter. If I see a video of someone I know, I don't need a caption to tell me that it's that person if I already know who it is.

It does matter, because if a name's on their it will show up on a search of that person's name, which employers often use to see stuff about potential employees. I don't think that many employers (that would fire based on that) would go browsing those kinds of sights.

My point is that if he even sees him he doesn't need a bleeding caption to tell him that the guy he's watching f* someone is the job applicant.

And you'd be surprised who goes browsing around on "those sites".  

[Bloody Loon]

Yeah... I guess so... I don't really know what to do, other than to either ignore it, have fun with it, or ask her to remove it.
