Once you agree to " work for hire" and assign the proceeds of your labor to the producer and you get duly paid, you cannot withdraw. If you could, then every actor who does NOT like the movie he/she was in could stop the movie release. Not just porn but the whole entertainment industry would go down.
It shows that both the "lawyering" and the execution of the agreement was wrong. To add to a peculiarity, Czech juris prudence has many unusual rules left over from the commie era and some even go back all the way to Austro Hungarian Empire days. So the outcome if this case is uncertain.
