the problem is that it is a matter of prespective

Mutt and steve lightspeed both pretend as that girls who have long since retired are actually still working in the business.

vivid does the same thing, when their girls suddenly retire.

This creates the false impression that the girl is still doing porn even after she has left it in her past

She can never escape the past because the internet preception is that she is still doing "porn"

Obviously there is a business benefit to the program owner, it does trap the girls all be it with golden handcuffs by undermining other opertunities outside the porn industry.

Yet none of the "porn producers" will admit the consequence of this action, all will justify it based on their investment.

The reality is you could make back the money from your investment by telling the truth (the girl has retired, your looking at her past work) it would just take longer, and the ROI might not be has high. but the ratio of profit to production cost is high enough (2k scene making 50k) that you could still make money by being honest.
