zero ethics - just because you can take advantage of somebody doesn't mean you should.
I agree with you 100%, I make it very clear to models at the offset My intentions for the content being shot, and if I feel that I want to invest in a single girl site with any of them I pay them per shoot plus a percentage of the site, on top of this I help them out with genuine contacts for work.

That was a shitty thing to do imo and not very good for the overall single girl site market.

That is my whole point. Why do so few on GFY care that this bullshit goes on. It is completely unethical and a complete scam to the model, the customers, and the affiliates. This is no fucking way to run a railroad!

She's definately not the only one that this has happened to. They did the exact same thing to me (www.christineconners.com) @ the end of May and a girl named Bri aka (www.kelliyoung.com) back in Feb or so. Stupid on my part for being a trusting person? Yes. Onemodelplace was a great thing for me, until this happened.

It's a widely known fact that I don't work with their site. I shot with them once, will never again. I am sucking up my mistakes, working on my own thing, and moving on. It's all you can do. I am making sure the quality is 100x better than the $250 camera they use because I am using a real photographer.

The best thing about it is, the pics of me on that site are so poor compared to some of the stuff that I'm working on that people usually don't even know that their site is really me.

I'm sorry to hear that they're still fucking up people's lives though but you know, some people have no conscience and never change.

I did read it and it's pretty standard, but as I'm sure you realize, just about any contract you sign your rights away if you're paid for the shoot.

And as stated in the last post, I did basically do so. I wasn't complaining about it, I was just reinforcing the point being made by this thread.

Nothing I can do about it, I just sort of ignore it now and tell people to fuck off when they come up to me and call me Christine.

Never heard of her prior to this, the only public service you seem to have accomplished is to make her name known. Congrats

If any of you people had a shread of ethics then you would shut them down now. I guess JFK is saying that all of GFY does business this way and should not be trusted. I that what you are saying JFK?

None too gently put, but he's got a point.. unless they have exclusive rights to the name you could use that branding to your advantage.

Not really, this is not how she wants to be portrayed. That is why this is an all around scam. The traffic from that site will be looking for a completely different person.

Of course it is unethical to talk someone into one thing and then do something else. You are also right about the site's customers being misled. And the really stupid thing about this all too typical (for this business) bit of all-around exploitation is that it is so unambitious. If Liz were saleable and the people involved had the skills to sell her, they could have made more money in the long run by being above-board.

But regardless of what she claims someone told her at some point, she signed a contract which - presumably, or you would not need to be here - does not protect such things as the use of her name. She cannot blame anyone but herself for signing that.

She still has some legal rights and if in its text the site were portraying her in a detrimental way (not simply a way she doesn't like), she could sue the operators for libel. Unfortunately, I seriously doubt this site could be interpreted that way.

BTW the best way any professional model can protect herself against this kind of thing - apart from checking contracts more carefully - is to register her name as a trademark.

exactly. I'm in the middle of trademarking a name and it's almost approved. It's been a long process, but I know it will be worth it in the end. And in the end, I will get the site. I think this is the only way to do it without having to pay a ton of legal fees.

By saying such retarded things you are hardly helping your cause. If you haven't gotten the point by now, Badgirlbucks are well known jackasses on this board. Had YOU taken the time to do some homework you might have learned this before jumping into bed with them. Now you come on the board telling people to fuck off and saying we have no ethics because we don't want to take up your cause as our own. Give me a fucking break. Go back to your mainstream job.

Look... all the models who get into this business do it for the quick bucks! If they wanted to be catalog models or runway models or swimsuit models, they would have gone into those industries! The reason they choose porn is because of the easy money.

Now... didn't your mommy and daddy tell you that if something appears too good to be true, it probably is? The porn industry is notorious for being all about the cash -- the models are the fish while the producers are the sharks -- and at the end of the day it ALL comes down to what is written on the contract.

So many girls are so eager to make the quick bucks, even when they understand that their image can be used in any media format portrayed any way the owner sees fit, until the end of time. It's all written in black and white, and the girls sign their contracts with their eyes open.

Then months later, after they've spent the cash and find a new "conservative" boyfriend, they suddenly show up to the studio outraged at the fact that you've made money off of them, call you names, and then full of self-righteous bullshit they demand that you give them back their photos and/or remove them from the websites.

All I can say is: TOO FREAKING BAD -- you had your chance to back out when you were hired, and you didn't. You're a grown-up, live with your consequences! And quit portraying the studios as the demons when YOU are the one that signed your rights away!

The girl should be blaming HERSELF, not the industry! I'm so sick of this bullshit excuse!

By the way... I was talent for three years, shot oodles of content, and don't blame ANY of the studios for taking advantage of me. I actually read my contracts before signing them and I know that my content will be in cyberspace forever. I can live with that -- and I'll HAVE to because there is no legal recourse!

I totally understand model releases, and I totally understand flake models.
What I am pissed off at is this company saying one thing and doing a totally different thing. They never told her that they were registering a domain name with her trade name and marketing it. She has no problem with the pictures she has a problem with what amounts to internet identity theft. That was not what anyone discussed or agreed to.
