The Pakistani government, through a recommendation from the Senate Standing Committee on Sports, Culture & Youth Affairs, is mulling ending a 40-year-old ban on the public screening of Indian-made feature films.

One woman said she received odd, late-night phone calls and embarrassing e-mails after a former high school classmate, now in the adult pornography industry, nabbed her name. The Houston woman said she assumes her former classmate, Lara Madden, thought her name was catchy. She has used the stage name "Syvette Wimberly" in more than a dozen adult films. Now Wimberly is suing Madden, who was in her ninth-grade class, for invasion of privacy and emotional distress. She is suing both Madden and Vivid Entertainment, which produced Madden's videos, for monetary damages. She also filed an injunction against Madden to stop using her name. "I imagine she knew the name and maybe thought it sounded catchy and was unique," Wimberly said. Wimberly's attorney Caj D. Boatwright said, "Really on a weekly, if not daily basis, my client has had to deal with odd phone calls, former classmates that didn't know her that well sending her e-mails about whether she's now in the adult film industry and just a general lack of safety for her. " One legal analyst said Wimberly has a good case against Madden because the line is clear between the two women. "It's not like they pulled the name 'Jane Doe' or 'Barbara Smith' out of thin air," said KPRC legal analyst Brian Wice. "They pulled a name that's fairly peculiar to one woman in Harris County, Texas, and that's the kind of coincidence or lack of coincidence that's going to get somebody's attention in this building behind us. "
