the name was trademarked.. they're using a trademarked name, it has nothing to do with the model and yes i have evidence that she knew she was not to use it anywhere else and exclusively with us. However.. the big company who wanted to use it, regardless of my agreement with the model - did not do their due diligence and research the trademark before using it - so my issue is not as much with her, as it is with them. She made a new name and all the other sites she models for use her new name. The big company in question wanted to use the name WE had branded, because no one knew her under the new name yet - and they wanted all the work WE had done to benefit them. Problem is, we had a PINUP Site (not xxx) and now they are using that name for her XXX work thereby trashing our brand and all our investment is now - also a waste.

Thanks for the advice.. I appreciate it.
