If there is legal precedent for this new consideration (models vs. "artists") I'd love to hear from the GFY lawyer brain trust on this. Hey, it IS a new era but I still think a valid model release does not expire.

That depends on the law of the country where he lives. There are many reasons a court could rule an agreement invalid here. If a model release is a form of agreement, is it defined in law?
Locally, one of the reasons could be that the agreement is against morals (porn naturally is), or that the agreement was made under harsh conditions, or in need. This also depends which part of law the agreement is based on, whether it was a civil code , or a commercial code.
If you use an agreement for porn modeling or porn work in a country where pornography is not officially recognized as a form of business/work, you are always on thin ice.
I would consult a local lawyer.
