Monetizing Custom Videos
If anyone has any considered advice on the following situation, I'd be grateful to learn of it.
I have made a half dozen hardcore porno videos with starlets that have name recognition. Our agreement when the productions took place was that I could market them on eBay a couple of times a year, but I made it known that I wasn't interested in promoting their sale through a commercial website of my own devising.
With the advent of clips4sale, I am seeing monetary possibilities that didn't exist before and am wondering if the there are likely legal consequences for posting them there.
In all but one case no release was signed, though email correspondence exists attesting to the agreed use as spelled out above.
While the videos might be compromising to the performers if they were in other non-porno professions, the actions depicted in the productions are entirely commensurate with their commercial output.
Am I opening a Pandora's Box? If the likely worst case scenario is that I'd be asked to remove the videos from clips4sale, I would consider the risk worth taking. If damages were sought and the litigation was viable, I would not.
Considered opinions please, although I'm sure there will be the usual snark to sift through.
