And we supposedly exploit talent?

This is from the MTV contract for the idiots cast in their Real World series.

You agree to all of the below:


? You may die, lose limbs, and suffer nervous breakdowns. (Stipulation 1)

? If you undergo any medical procedures while involved in the show, they carry the risk of infection, disfigurement, death. (4)

? You may be humiliated and explicitly portrayed "in a false light." (12)

? Producers are under no obligation to conduct background checks on your fellow cast members. (7)

? If you contract AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases while filming ["gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), Chlamydia, scabies (crabs),'hepatitis, genital warts, and other communicable and sexually transmitted diseases or Pregnancy; etc"], MTV is not responsible. (7)

? Interacting with other cast members carries the risk of "non-consensual physical contact" and should you contract AIDS, etc. during such an interaction, MTV is not responsible. (7)

? You don't have STDs, but accept that other people on the show might. (18)

? You're not pregnant and you won't become pregnant before the show's done filming. If you do become pregnant, you'll tell the Producer immediately--and pregnancy is grounds for dismissal. (38)

? If you get kicked off the show, it will be filmed. (14)

? You can't change your physical appearance during filming, without the Producer's express permission. (26)

? You grant the Producer blanket rights to your life story. (49)

? The Producer can do pretty much anything they want with your life story, including misrepresent it. (49)

? Your email may be monitored during participation. (20b)

? You promise not to hide from MTV cameras in establishments where they can't film. (20a)

? You authorize the Producer to have total access to your school records, government forms, your credit history. (19)

? The production crew can show up at your personal house at any time to film and/or to take anything they want, as long as they return the objects once production has ended. (20a)

? Under ordinary circumstances, all of this would be considered a "serious" invasion of privacy. (11)

? For one year after the show's final episode airs, cast members are required to participate in all producer-determined press and forbidden from engaging in any media (radio, television, chat rooms, blogs) without the Producer's written permission. (9)

? The Producer holds the authorship and copyright to every photograph, email, website, sound or video recording, documented performance created in relation to the program, on every medium imaginable. (8)

? You're obligated to participate in a Reunion Special for up to five years after the show ends, you'll be paid $2500 for your involvement, and the Producer only has to give you 14 days notice. (50c)

? You're required to participate in book or home video projects for two years after the show ends, and you'll be paid $750.00 for each one. (50f)

? While you're on the show, you're responsible for all long-distance phone charges. (16a)

? The explicit list of physical tasks you might be subjected to, enumerated in the contract, include traveling by "air (whether via helicopter, commercial airliner, glider, private aircraft or otherwise), train and/or automobile, as well as strenuous and/or dangerous and/or mental activity, including but not limited to, horseback riding, jogging, bicycling, motorcycling, exercise and/or weight equipment, skydiving, swimming, bungee jumping, parasailing snorkeling, jet skiing, amusement park activities, rock climbing, engaging in contact sports, hiking, kayaking and boating." (1)

And this is why I laugh when reality TV people say their words and actions were manipulated.

Says they will be right in their contract.

most of that crap didn't suprise me - and neither really did the chump change they pay.

? You're required to participate in book or home video projects for two years after the show ends, and you'll be paid $750.00 for each one. (50f)

? While you're on the show, you're responsible for all long-distance phone charges. (16a)


I don't even know who owns MTV, Viacom still? MTV must have large revenues, and look what they are paying these people who star in their famous reality show, $750 to participate in a book or home video project. Porn talent gets paid more. And charging them for long distance phone charges.

My thoughts as well. Try running the quote below past an employment lawyer.

" You're not pregnant and you won't become pregnant before the show's done filming. If you do become pregnant, you'll tell the Producer immediately--and pregnancy is grounds for dismissal."

It's really not that bad, they are just covering their asses, they hire a bunch of phyco drunk losers for this crap, like the people on jersey shore. All they do is fuck nasty std infected whores and fight while drunk, it's a liability nightmare beyond comparision really, they need to cover their asses. Also, why would they pay them shit if the show takes off they make money on endorsments and apperences.

Most of them make sense, what seems weird and likely illegal to me is 1) forcing them to do dangerous activities and then 2) saying if something happens it's not their fault...

Some people don't care if they get humiliated. It's the 15 minutes of fame that matters. If it makes them look like a moron, they don't care.

What about royalties. DVD sales? MTV no pay? probably because they don't have to.

This is a new one, I had to sign one of these a few years ago when I thought it would be a good idea to go on a show (I quit before filming began). You really sign your life away. It's not just the filming for the 3-6 months you film. They own you for almost 5 years.
