 :::::Well, to start with, if you will look at the Wikipedia article on ""pedophiles"", you will see the term refers to an almost exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent minors.  Certainly for-profit cam performers in their middle to late teens, while illegal under US law, have broad appeal not limited to pedophiles.  Berry's last site advertised itself as legal adult porn, replete with the usual references to the US Code and a statement that documents verifying age were on file, as you can easily verify for yourself at archive.org.  At that point, Berry was nearing 18, and certainly didn't have any physical characteristics that would disclose to customers he was underage.  So referring to everyone whose credit card information Berry possessed as ""1500 pedophiles"" is a bit of a logical stretch.  Berry was certainly a teenage male prostitute, not only with regard to his webcam performances, but with regard to the encounters he arranged with customers in real life.  This isn't an attempt to embarrass him constructed by some ""pedophile"" cabal.  It is simply the correct use of the word ""prostitute.""  Since no one, not even a journalist, is permitted to view anything labeled as ""child porn,"" even if only to report to the public on whether its contents are being lied about, we really have to take any representation as to the contents of Berry's erotic performances with a huge grain of salt, as anyone who can admit access to it for the purposes of commenting on it already represents only one particular side of any balanced discussion.  I seriously doubt anything that might be said about Berry in his Wikipedia article could be more embarrassing than the things he willingly did in the video perforances that will likely live forever on the Net.  I suspect people who ride in here claiming they need to protect Berry from pain and embarrassment, are projecting their own pain and embarrassment.  I doubt Berry feels much of anything these days, given the effects on his nervous system from all the cocaine he stuffed up his nose.  Berry, now an adult, is just trying to stay out of jail, and people have every right to criticize the domino effect on gay youth in the cam subculture, as everyone scrambles madly to secure their own plea bargain by hurling possibly made up allegations at the next person to be arrested.  People who purchased services from Berry that they thought were legal certainly have a right to be angry at him for trying to label them as ""pedophiles"" and ""molesters"" and get them arrested.  It is singularly unsurprising that such people don't have nice things to say about him or his little crusade.  "
