I'm not trying to take a cheap shot at you....
But there is a saying...
If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. And if you make your money in the jizz bizz. Well, even in the most tolerant and legal area you will still have to look over your shoulder for the cops.

I will say one thing - I was never much of a fan of agent fees, but now I'm all for them...when a model isn't cooperating, it's so much easier to just call her agent than to try and deal with it yourself. It doesn't happen much on my sets, but when it does, it's worth every penny to call an agent.
And if the agent is working his/her ass off to get the model work, then they deserve the 15% (or so) they get from the girl.

In Montreal they want to charge ME the 15% and I say FUCK THAT SHIT! They can go back to finding hahahaha for Redlight I don't play that game.
I pay an agent a FLAT fee.
He gets the same amount regardless of what negotiations I make with the girl.
Because you see, unless the percentage is charged to the talent. It's a conflict of interest. As a business woman I am looking to cut my costs at every available chance. So yes, I am trying to get the girl for as cheap as possible. It's damn hard to do that if the guy brining the girl stands to make more too.
And speaking as former pornstar. NO snatch or colon is worth some of the rates a few people try to charge.
But on that note, most of the time I don't negotiate. I say what I want, how it pays. And the girl can take it or leave it.
