Well, the obvious answer is naievete. Correct about the IDs. I do live in the States. I don't realize my exposure to liability. I'd appreciate it if you would explain why the informal written agreement between the model and me would not release me from liability.
If you haven't read through the thread, allow me to reiterate.
The starlets all agreed to do the custom video with the proviso that I could sell it on eBay periodically, which was informally agreed to as a couple of times a year. This can be demonstrated from my email correspondence with them.
It was suggested here that I might also be exposed to criminal liability. If anyone knows if this is so, I would gratefully welcome their insights.
But if this is so, wouldn't the starlet also have that same problem? And wouldn't it likely deter her from pressing litigation?
