This irratates me to a fume. We've had it happen several times. The most recent was a model came to us claiming to be single. Yea, ok. who cares. He signed the model release. We express verbally and in the contracts that once the films or images are completed through the production process they will be placed within the public arenas for consumers to buy. Once they are out there, they never come down.

Apparently, in this last case the model lied to his boyfriend and told him that he was going out of town with his family.

The boyfriend later found out he did not and he was doing porn. The boyfriend gave our model the altimatum to have us remove that video or they were breaking up.

Sorry, nothing we will do to remove the video. Especially after films cost us a couple grand to film. (Model pay, airfare, hotels, meals, etc.)

If you remove the video, your stupid because look at the money YOU are spending for production. For some it may only be $100 for others it may be $50,000. Either way, that's a lot of money to waste and throw away.

Models are adults. They know what they are doing when they sign that release. Your losing your business model by tossing the video / images away.
