Around 1998 or 1999 when I joined Max Fisch print was still king so in the NY tristate area if a domme tried to use an existing name the ad in the S&M magazines it wouldn’t run. Or the Max Fisch members would call out the new domme for it. Today it is a worldwide situation.

About a Domina leaving the scene and erasing most or all of her content to move to another career... that is tough. I helped one Domina to do that. Luckily she never really showed her face in pics or videos, but even now, ten years later, I can still stumble upon three or four of the videos she used to sell. She had two names and they were kinda appropriated so she is covered there.
