At the low end here, and for MOST instances, we are talking largely about actors paid a few hundred to a thousand or more dollars for a whole spectrum of hardcore activity. In fact, most people come and go in a short period of time, and statistically don't do many scenes. The question (in my mind) isn't what should someone do with a Jenna Jameson or a Bree Olsen, because they're the one percenters, that's our Hollywood. Of course this is completely subjective, but I'm not suggesting that such content come down.
I thought the question here was about the real entry level here of one or multiple scenes. This is what I've seen cross my desk in the past. Usually from surviving family members, usually on people who didn't do very much. Holding on to a piece of truly unimportant content that's already aged when a mom or dad reaches out to tell you that their daughter committed suicide or died of an overdose doesn't really seem worth the rub to me.

Brad has it right here. There's a huge difference between Jenna and some young woman who is struggling and decides to shoot porn for a quick buck. The only way to go about it is to remove, IMHO... everything else will create issues, and also, if you have no feelings about it, it's on you, but you can lose a lot more for something that should be your moral duty.
Like he said, Hollywood has SAG, porn doesn't... and more often times than not, porn talent will be ridiculed and paid peanuts, while the paysite operators will milk the content for all it's worth and re-sell it, recycle it, etc... IP is IP, and nobody is disputing that. You produced it, and you own it. But there will be certain limitations on how you expect to use it 20 years later for example... you would be singing a different tune if it was your wife or your daughter, of course..
