Edison Chen is now in the news about Internet Sex Video Case. I believe he must be really hurt, frustrated and angry over it. Many nude and sexy photos of the female celebrities are probably spreading everywhere in the Internet today. Edison couldn’t do much about it when he sent his computer for repair in a shop when the employee found a lot of pictures and exposed them onto the Internet. Now, what’s going to happen to Edison and the many female celebrities?

Well, I heard many companies are now withdrawing their contract with the celebrities as they can’t be associated with the background of the celebrities who are now being known as. Those girls who look really pretty and maybe innocent, may now have a different marketing status now…

First thing first, why is the computer shop doing such a thing?

If you were Edison, will you keep your confidential photos in such an easily accessible storage? People have been taking advantage of the easy usage of the storage to keep their digital files. Never did they know that their very confidential files are not really confidential anymore to the computer experts. Just think about a computer programmer who has to understand your business structure thoroughly to make a custom program for you… Many things will be known to the programmer.

Anyway, I don’t believe the computer shop assistant knew those files were existing in Edison’s computer unless Edison made it so easily accessible for any computer user using Edison’s computer.

Not only Edison’s reputation might be at stake, there are so many female celebrities out there who are probably having trouble with their fans and managers now… Everybody is trying to avoid that question even though they didn’t deny it.

This case is now so well-known that I kept hearing people saying things which linked to this story… Things such as keeping your computer securely or else you will be like him… Don’t store such photos and think nobody will know… Don’t ever think your computer will never fail… And it goes on and on… It has become a perfect example for many system integrators and computer sellers out there to tell their customers to secure their computers properly… Probably this might becoming a selling point to increase sales for them…

One man’s misfortune might become another man’s fortune…

Anyway, I felt sorry for Edison for being at this stage… Even though I don’t really agree with him to do such things with the celebrities, it is nevertheless the hard-to-accept fact now for him and the female celebrities…
