I did not get the last few seconds( had turned away and almost missed it.) I am referring to after After she says to her boyfriend "see you tonight".
Who was looking at her web page and how could they be looking at it if the police shut it down? did that mean she went back to it? If someone has seen the movie and saw those last few seconds, please explain-thanks.
i think it ment that somewhere her pictures are still out on the internet, but Mia doesn't know it. i just finished watching it and that is what i thought it ment.

Last summer, the Idaho court of appeals ruled against reducing the sentence for Leslie Bowcut, a child pornographer who distributed photos to people over the Internet. When describing the effect of his crime on his victims, the court said:
"The victims’ anguish may be exacerbated by the fact that Bowcut distributed the explicit photographs on the Internet where they are beyond retrieval, leaving the victims with knowledge that the photos will be seen by unlimited numbers of people for an unlimited time."
In this case the court was referring to illegal child pornography images. As far as distribution goes, the same holds true for legal child modeling images.
The damage to the model depends on the images. In the early days of internet modeling, the better-known sites tended to show some restraint, and the photos shouldn't be an embarrassment to the girls as they grow older.
In "Selling Innocence," some of Mia's modeling shoots were obviously supposed to cross the line as far as taste and propriety. Given that, and that Mia was under 18, I wonder if a creative DA could have charged the photographer with some sort of child exploitation.
I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on local access cable, but...
I don't think it's legal anywhere in the USA to photograph a minor for commercial purposes (regardless of what they're wearing or baring), without signed written consent from both/all adult custodians.
That's why the truly under-18 smut comes from Russia, Ukraine, Phillipines, etc.
PS: I don't know if Ms. Rogers campaigns against teen/child porn in real life, but it's somewhat funny/hypocritical to see her in this concerned mother role, given her past sexpot roles in flicks like 'Full Body Massage', 'Ladykiller', etc...

I got the impression that nothing the photographer did crossed the line. That's why they said there was nothing anyone could do about him. It was all legal content.
share Nearing the end of the film,the photographer tells Mia that if she does an one time pay per view event featuring Mia,herself alone,live, he would take the site down. One gets the impression that since Mia ran out on the event a little after it started then Mia in essence went back on her word and blew her deal with the photographer. Her photos are the property of the photographer,not her.Meaning he could still do whatever he wanted with them. But as the photgrapher reminded Mia the photos of her have been looked at,cut,traded,sold,and brought no telling how many times since they were put on the internet. And yes pictures like those never really fade away. They are out there waiting to be looked at by someone who has never seen them before.

Definitely agree with you on that. The ending seemed really sloppy. First off, why would Malcolm have Mia pose when she was under age when he was so careful through the entire movie not to step a toe out of line. Why would he take this risk? It makes no sense at all.

Who was the boy at the end looking at Mia's picture? He looked so familiar!
shareI wish i knew....
anyway, i got caught on watching it when i saw the corner gas guy in the show and i got interested. Its was different seeing him as a bad guy. But can someone retell me what he was saying to mia before/during/and after the lock in the room scene? i got confused when he was talking about angels and stuff and kissing the cam...very confused...
plus, does anyone know how i can get a copy of this movie? i know its a tv movie so it might not be easy, but can someone help me on that?im thinking of using this movie for a class project. email me at [email protected] with any info thankx.
