The first shoot I ever did was with a photographer who later sold my sets on various content sites. I'm on the header for fattyfarm.com and on the signup form for another site. Am I happy about it? Hell no. Firstly, the fact that any asshole with a credit card can get my content and, more importantly, my ID due to the secondary producer 2257 changes, really is frightening. Secondly, it dilutes my own site's exclusivity. Thirdly, I like to be in control of how my images are used, and I'm completely not now-I don't even know where they are all used.
BUT, do I hold that photographer responsible? No. I should have asked more questions before I signed the release. I read it, but clearly I didn't understand it all, so I should have made sure I did before I signed. My fault. So I deal with it, and know better for next time.
You can't save the world, Batts. You go above and beyond to ensure your models are sure about the choices they make. Once the pen in is their hands, the choice is there too, and you can't be held responsible for the consequences of their own decisions. I understand where you are coming from, but I don't think you should feel bad. Obviously one of those two girls talked, and that's on their heads, not yours. If they didn't want anyone to know, they shouldn't have told anyone.
