1 in every 6 women are sexually abused, 1 in 33 for men. It is a huge problem that is really not getting better, possibly worse due to crack and crystal meth.
The company is supposedly very progressive and "politically correct", and supportive of people's needs. They have agreed to respect my wishes in the past, but currently the person who does the web postings feels it is too much for her to keep track of due to her work load. However, there are only two or three postings in a year where my would need to be omitted.
The context of using my name is just being included in a list of people who work there on a few reports.
I don't have a problem using my name performing, I have an unlisted number and my home address is not on the web. A musician builds a fan base over many years. Some of the stage names listed were chosen because they sounded cooler than their real name - everyone knows Bob Dylan is really Robert Zimmerman, etc.
Yes, my question was answered and I appreciate this resource for finding out what the law is. It is sad that a woman does not have the right to restrict the use of her name on the WORLDWIDE web. Previous to the internet she would have only had to be concerned about a company brochure in some mailing, or in the yellow pages.
Thank you for your feedback.
