Ok here's a dilemna for you. (content and model age related)

The lupe threads got me thinking about this......

Ok first of all, forget about US laws. And let's say the country you are shooting in has a legal age for consent at 16 or lower I don't know what all countries ages are etc.

You get contacted by a model who is 17, so not old enough to have adult/nude content shot of her to be used/published.

Now forget about the selling/distributing of content.

What if you done an audition with a 17 year old to try her out. Shot it, but didn't use a release or anything and didn't sell/distribute it.

Would this be seen as a private video? like homemade for personal use and be legal? If no cash changed hands ofcourse.

Or what?

Then when she turn 18 you hire her, get her to sign a release, pay her and do what you want with the content.

Say these videos were shot, and someone got hands on them and uploaded them to a tube or whatever. What would happen?

Just wondering what people think about that. Not saying that's what happened or anything obviously because clearly it doesn't look that way. Just a wondering thought.
