The girl broke the contract by signing your release and then shooting.
I dont know any contract that could possibly hold the 3rd party liable, I mean not one that wouldnt get laughed out of court.
Seriously, thats one of the dumbest things I have ever read.

They have sued and won, more then once. When a model signs a contract with SG they sign a 3 year non compete clause that says they will not work with anyone they deem to be in direct compeition with them. If you shoot or work with someone from SG they will sooner or figure it out and catch up with you. The model is under contract with them so you won't be able to use the content, bottom line.
Do a little research about their current lawsuits, they've sued godsgirls more then once, they are currently sueing former photographer Lithium Picnic and he did not breach his contract, but they said he stole industry ideas etc etc. Basically a ton of garbage, they also claim they taught him how to shoot pictures. They sued someone else over the use of the color pink.
