I've been giving this some thought.....and...this is kind of long...
Jussi did not have to say anything about what happened. It's none of our business. Really. So why did he say anything? He's an important person in Discmania, a lot of information from DM comes from him. People would wonder why they haven't been hearing anything from Jussi - why are others reporting new releases, status of production, etc and not Jussi? My guess/assumption is that is the reason for the release of what happened - so we know why we won't be hearing anything from him. Basically...he did something illegal, got caught, got punished, and is spending time trying to work things out with his family and his life. That is what he told us; he owned up to his actions. He could have claimed it was a mistake, for example: maybe it is legal in his country so he thought it was legal where he was. But he didn't claim it was a mistake...he owned up to the fact that what he did was wrong. We really don't need to know the details. We don't have to agree with what he did - but we don't need the details; it's not our business.
Could it have been a trafficked sex-worker? Sure.
Could it have been a vice officer? Sure.
I'll bet the person never identified themselves to Jussi as a legal sex-worker, or a trafficked sex-worker, or a vice officer. And what would they say if he asked? He most likely thought the person was a legal sex-worker. But again, that isn't our business. All that is important is that Jussi won't be representing Discmania while he deals with the problems he caused and that he admitted to and owned up to his actions.
Yes, there are issues with some sex-workers being forced to do the work. And it is right to be upset/angry/whatever about that. But, in this instance, did the person (Jussi) know the status of the person? Here's something else to think about in this situation....is prostitution legal in Jussi's country? If so, could he have thought that it was also legal where he was at the time?
As for the people who no longer want to have anything to do with Discmania because of this - it's your right, but...do you ask every single company you deal with if anyone working for them has done anything illegal or that you disagree with? If not, maybe you are supporting a company that has someone who committed a much worse crime. Remember, while Jussi was the CEO of Discmania, he's not the only person that works for that company. By boycotting Discmania you aren't just hurting Jussi...you are hurting all the people who work there.
And for everyone on here, have you ever committed something illegal? If so, did you own up to it and let everyone know every single detail about it? Have you been let go from the business you worked at? If not, should we boycott that business until you are let go?
Finally, I don't support or agree with what Jussi did. He's married and shouldn't be going elsewhere for sex regardless of if it is legal or not. I feel sorry that people have to work as sex-workers regardless of if they are doing by choice or force. I feel sorry for Jussi's wife and family that they have to deal with this.
