Online strippers sue for privacy rights United Press International - November 13, 1997 18:54 %STATE %CA %ONLINESEX V%UPI P%UPI SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13 (UPI) - In a city where prostitutes organize and strippers unionize, a group of Internet sex workers is suing for the right to privacy. The suit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, says paying customers wrongly broadcast to co-workers the performances of five women doing their act on the World Wide Web. The suit was filed against San Francisco-based Selective Media Inc. and Interactive Live, Inc. and Los Angeles-based Larry Flynt Publishing Inc. The women are former employees of a video-conferencing service in which computer users paid $7 per minute to watch them strip and perform sexual acts. Their attorney, Daniel Feder, told the San Francisco Chronicle that the women were specifically told they'd be performing for one anonymous user. Feder says, ''Secret (computer) codes were given out to their co- workers and others, so they were in fact performing for dozens of people,'' creating a violation of privacy issue. The video-conferencing program ran on the Hustler magazine web site. The president of Larry Flynt Publishing, which puts out Hustler, told the newspaper the company should not have been named in the suit since they are not the women's official employer. -- Copyright 1997 by United Press International.
