some companies send us their own model releases on the advice of their lawyers.
if i was buying exclusive content i'd demand the model release - what happens in 5 years when some model sees her pics on a site and she's now married and a born again Christian and she's got a well to do husband she's told she 'only posed for one photographer and it was private ' - you dont have a model release to prove otherwise - now you are at the mercy of the content provider hoping he is still around and reachable and has the model release.
i know people who've had this very problem.

Good post, I think Brad Shaw is now in court over the same thing about content he bought from David Lace.
We had a model threaten to sue a client of ours, until the client faxed over the model release the girl signed.
But again what will you do in the future with regards to clients giving out content to affiliates?
This to me is the biggest change that effects us content providers, are we selling the girls contact details to people who will frelly distribute it?
