I started shooting adult in LA in '89 and this issue has changed radically just over the last few years. Which is why I took such exception to Deans view that nothing has changed.
In the old days models and agents wanted to know exactly where the material was going to be distributed. I remember long conversations to clarify exactly what magazine or website the stuff would be for and getting explicit permission from the model for that venue etc.
These days models are barely curious to know where its all going, most of them have never heard of the sites or mags anyway and when I tell them they just shrug and start the shoot. Agents are cool with explaining to the models that its a "Content Shoot for Various Websites" - thats just what this biz has denigrated to, I'm not saying its a good thing..it's a matter of survival. Girls need to work, shooters need to shoot, this is the paradigm..get on board or punch a fucking clock.
I admit I was pissed when non-ex shooters destroyed the exclusive content biz, just as surely as the tubes and filelockers fucked up the game...but I said fuck it I want to eat too so I started selling non-ex and bam I'm making 3x earnings than I ever did shooting the old way.
So to summarize: The Non-Exclusive Content biz exists, it is valid. By definition it's not possible to tell the model where the content will be seen because you just simply do not know.
