Of course Mutts comment was a generalization and not applicable to all situations. I think you and I are on the same page here though....

If the producer makes it known up front that the material may be sold to a number of clients, I see no problem with that at all, happens every day in our business. I've shot non-exclusive content and was not aware who would license it until it was shot & edited so in that situation, there's no way to tell the model where her material would end up.

But if the producer leads the model to believe that she is shooting for one thing when she's actually shooting for something else, that's pretty fucked up. Of course it happens every day in this industry but my preference is to just be honest with the girls and tell them exactly how the material will be used. Some models don't care where the content will end up but many do in an effort to control their image. It takes a long time to build a solid reputation not only for producers but also for performers so I don't think it's too much to ask to be honest with the performers and tell them how their content will be used if it's known up front. That's what I'm say'n
