Well according to you all I need is to get a girl to sign a napkin saying anything he shoots is his to do with whatever he sees fit, and that's a perfect model release form.

All she's saying is if you don't have the proper verbage, you could be in trouble. Really, is she wrong?

Bottom line is ,
These contracts will help you but not in all cases save you .

model release forms when done right usually can't be challenged in court. Usually the only disputable thing is whether the model actually signed the release, or whether it was forged. Everyone remember the Cameron Diaz case?

put that on a fucking napking...have her sign it.

find a loophole in that.
(1) Can you define 'pictures'? Is it a photo? For print? Is digital imagery 'pictures'? Are reproductions included in that definition? Copies? What about photo altering? Was the definition spelled out to the model? Can you prove it?

(2) These 'pictures' were published on a website described as 'cum slurping whores'. Did the model realize her likeness would be used in such a derogatory manner? Where did she agree to that? This sounds like libel, sir... (this argument has actually won in trial before...and it wasn't even porn. A modeling agency sold photos to a magazine, who published it in an acceptable manner. However, in the facing page, completely unrelated to the photograph, was an article on 'teenage prostitution'. It was argued and won that the implication was the model was one such prostitute, and she won on libel.)

(3) These photos 'belong to' you? Can you define that term? 'Belong to' does not imply ownership, simply possession. Do you have the right to reassign rights to others? Who else works on that site? If it's not solely operated by you, how do your associates have the right to use these pictures? Where did the model agree that the use of these pictures was not restricted to your personal possession? Since you are selling memberships, are you not technically selling rights to these photos? I see nowhere in your contract that grants you these rights.

(4) Pursuant to 2257, you are required to list all names and/or pseudonyms ever used by the model. Where was the collection of this data?

(5) Can you prove 'good and valuable consideration'? Under some laws, failure to do so could negate the contract.

(6) Was the model under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicines that may have impaired her decision making capabilities?

I'm not trying to be an ass, but I did want to illustrate that even the most straight-forward legal document can contain 'loopholes' or counter-arguments that could cause headaches...

If young is prelaw and says all that is needed is a signature on a napkin he may want to consider a different profession.

Either that, or he is not well versed in what is needed to have a proper model release form.

Also keep in mind that we have no idea what was stated in the contract he has with Julia, there are always clauses for many issues that may arise. I know every contract we have out there right now we have an out at anytime if anything does arise that may affect our biz.

No she is right...but her argument changed as the thread got deeper and deeper.

Anybody who doesnt get a lawyer to draft up a release form is a moron.

hahaha OK...about the napkin. Are contracts drafted up on Napkins legal and enforciable. YES! Should you guys have taken my 20 second draft of a contract literally....no. Its fucking 3am give me a break..i was proven a point.

AdultMegaCash you maybe should find a new career if you are going to decieve your affiliates and not tell them the truth. Seriously...business ethics 101 buddy.

WebGurl...I didn't mean to internet fight with you.

And for the record. Anyone who doesn't get a model release form drafter up by a lawyer is a moron.

I don't think it changed. I think she wasn't clear originally. As she continued to post, it became more clear what she had always been saying.

Oh please, give me a fucking break. Go hang out with Donovan Phillips with that pussy fucking attitude.

He never said he was friends with her. He never conned her. She knew what she was getting into. Internet porn sites are nothing new, this girl knew what the outcome was going to be. You make it sound like he did something wrong. How is some dumb bitch flaking out on him bad business? Stop trying to sound like you're some kind of fucking saint.

Your napkin thing proved a bad point, a contract like that would not hold up in court for the simple fact that a model release requires a lot more information.


How exactly do I decieve my affiliates?

Sly that is fair. But when someone says "Model Release Form" I am assuming you have a legitimate "Model Release Form" which has all aspects covered. No model and no amount of money is going to challenge a contract with all aspects covered.

There.....affiliates should be considered as partners.

before telling me to go find a new career maybe you should re-examine yourself.

Now, keep in mind, (1) She signed a very detailed release for each shoot (2) I even video taped her signing it (3) I have 2 ids from her (4) I video taped the entire shoot to safeguard from inappropriate behavior claims (5) The second shoot was because of her request (6) she begged for a third shoot (7) I paid her well for each shoot and (8) I have a receipt from her for that payment. I mean, how much more covered can you be?

Even still, I told her if she's having second thoughts, then we could pretend the shoot never even happened if she'd refund the money (I probably wouldn't have even asked for the money if she wasn't being such a total bitch about it). She refused to refund anything, but still wanted the photos destroyed. I knew she had nothing on me, so I refused, and she gave up. But later on retrospect, I pulled them all for reasons I'm still not sure of. Heck, I doubt she even knows they were taken down. lol.
How much for those sets?

I totally agree that contracts drafted on napkins are legal and binding, but I think you actually proved opposite your point...with all intended and due respect.

Young , there are lots of people in this business that don't know what they're doing .
Do not "assume" anything. You are dealing with a bunch of amateurs here and I am not talking about the talents .
Having proper model release forms and having all aspects covered (not likely) to happen .

My affiliates I bend over backwords for, always have always will. I said if I was in this situation I would not be going public with all of it. There is a reason we do not run solo girl sites, we have enough headaches as it is.

And look around, not many people post the day to day lives of what's going on with their models on the boards. At the end of the day you do what's best for your business.

So what you are saying is be honest to the webmasters, and lie to the end users, the people who actually pay both of our bills? Send e mails from her even though it's not her, in your world in what you are saying the site should say "we have 2 years of updates and that's it."

What about the joins and recurring memberships that are going to fall off in 2 years once the updates stop? The main thing that makes solo sites attractive is how good they retain. Isn't retention going to fall off drastically in 2 years where there are no more updates? How is that looking out for the webmasters? or partners?

No problem and no offense meant. I just find this subject very interesting, and as a content provider, very important.

Too often GFY is like a boy's club, and at it's worst, like a good old boy's club.

Once in awhile it is worth trying to see things from the perspective of others.

The reality is that 99% of the models that I have worked with (and I've worked with hundreds of models), have no problem whatsoever with the work that they have done while working for me.

In those few occasions when someone has expressed regrets, I have tried to understand things from their perspective, while also trying to get them to understand the impact that pulling their content has on my business.

Certainly, operating solo model sites is a precarious proposition since if the model bails, that has a much bigger impact on your bottom line than if you are operating a multi-model site.

As I noted earlier, I took down my first solo model site due to a falling out with the model. I have few regrets for doing so, and feel confident that I made the correct decision under the circumstances (sometimes you need to know when to fold 'em).

In another instance, I had a solo model who shot some hardcore content early on, but before it was released asked me not to post it. What a dilemna. Over the nearly three years that she was active on the site, she had several thousand sign-ups.

I guarantee you that I would probably have easily made $100,000 extra if I released that content, but instead I still make lots of money in residual income from that site (even thought the site has not been updated in a few years), and more importantly I still have a good friend, who for her part in our joint venture, was able to pay for a new car, get braces on her teeth (I talked her out of fake boobs), and paid for college - she is now a nurse.

I'm not telling SoS what to do. He has to make his own decisions. I certainly don't know all the facts in his case. The only reason I spoke up is because I figured that most people would jump on the "she signed the contract, so fuck her" bandwagon, and there are other ways to deal with this issue.

As he is batting zero for two, operating solo sites may not be the kind of work SoS is best cut out for. There are other areas in adult or mainstream that he may excel at. Hopefully he learned more from this experience than simply shoot as much content as possible upfront and then you don't have to give a shit about the model afterwards.

I have genuinely cared about nearly everyone that I have worked with, and I am glad that I can count many of the models I have worked with as dear and loyal friends to this day. The money I have made is great, but the friendships are priceless.

Haha lying to the end user isn't something that is uncommon. Bangbus, College Fuck Fest etc etc period They all lie to the end user...sending a bogus e-mail and creating a fantasy is no different then fooling a surfer into thinking those situations are actually "real". Its what they pay for...the illusion.

Everything else you said I respect.

In 2 years retention is going to fall whether he tells webmasters or not. Why not prepare them for it...let them decide whether to stay on...instead of bringing them along for the ride.

I have genuinely cared about nearly everyone that I have worked with, and I am glad that I can count many of the models I have worked with as dear and loyal friends to this day. The money I have made is great, but the friendships are priceless.

Everything else you said I respect.

In 2 years retention is going to fall whether he tells webmasters or not. Why not prepare them for it...let them decide whether to stay on...instead of bringing them along for the ride.

So we agree to disagree. Simple for me, just do not touch solo girl sites. It's a tough call, I was not at all bashing SoS, but was just making my point in our discussion. This is an always changing industry so you must always be on top of it plain and simple.

As far as model releases and contracts go, make sure you get it done right, consult with people, and have a lawyer always look them over. You will not regret in in the long run. As I have said I have had many contracts come across my desk that people leave theyselves wide open on and make it easy to fuck them over if you wanted to.

Nice discussion everyone, if only it could happen here more often.

Nothing wrong with having an opinion, many people are opinionated. It's understanding that not everyone is going to share the same opinion as you and not being offended if they disagree that's important

I've been accused of being many things, but never of being a saint, LOL.

Could be wrong, but I was presuming that SoS did not always think that Julia Blue was a "dumb bitch".

Anyway, I don't know that Julia flaked out on SoS. I am guessing that there is much more to this story than is being presented. In any case, it sounds like she is the one that is taking the hit here, not SoS - since he has indicated that he intends to milk her/his site for as much as he can until he runs out of content.

Afterall, that is the GFY hairy-chested manly thing to do...



I just hope he doesn't get whacked before he spends all the money. That would suck.

I guess at least he will have been whacked standing up for a principle ("she signed the release"), so he will be remembered on GFY as a stand-up guy.

but regardless if the alexa rank is 1 million, or 100... the fact is people put time into making freesites and other promotional material.. and what does that say of me if i don't defend their hard work? as the program owner, it is my responsiblity to make sure i don't fuck my affiliates around.

Also, if one of Julia's angry "friends" takes you out with a Louisville Slugger, I'm not sure who is going to take care of your affiliates then. That will probably be the least of your worries.
Why not? i don't give a fuck... i'm honest as fuck, even if it will hurt my business.. the fact is i have updates for 2 years.. a solo girl site does not HAVE to have a live cam feed to work. and if some affiliates decide that they don't want to promote her site anymore because shes flaked, then so bet it. Just know that many of the solo sites, are run by the webmaster only and have flaked, just that you don't know about it... i'm just a little more open about shit like this.

I agree, it's business, it's just not how I do business.

ADG Webmaster
I just lost all the respect i had for you, and believe me.. i had a lot

Since my model flaked, that means i conned her into doing it?

the fact that shes a teenager, doesn't mean shit. shes the same age as me... its not like she couldn't read the model release or listen to what i told her.

If i don't look out for me, who IS going to look out for me?

Just because the model is stupid and changes her mind, means i should lose all the money i've invested, and that all the affiliates should lose their work too?

How do you figure?

Maybe you can afford to take the hit. i can't.

ADG Webmaster
Look up "Julia Blue" 's username.. look at the signature .. "this is really a guy posting, flirting for traffic"

i made that username up as a joke for all the webmasters who POST as their solo girls on the forums. Could NOT make it any more obvious.

I am not going to argue with you anyone, you obviously can't have discuss something without veering off topic or posting stupid pictures, this isn't the pic tennis thread, and I am not goofing around here. Like I told sonofsam a minute ago on ICQ, I expected more from you, but whatever. I too have lost all respect for you.

If you're going to try and rationalize, than at least try and do so rationally.

Honestly, you missed most of my points...

Did you once care about Julia as a person, instead of simply as a means to enrich yourself? If so, then what went wrong (especially so quickly)?

What is/was her longterm vested interest in the site? Was she entitled to a share of the profits, or was she just a model for hire? What was her understanding of the deal? That could be what is at the crux of the issue.

You have taken what I wrote out of context and as an attack on you when I was simply trying to open things up for a debate, instead of having this be a "bash the model who is not here to defend herself session".

Since you acknowledge posting under the juliablue fake nick, would you be opposed to her coming onto GFY and sharing her perspective?

Believe it or not, a lot can be learned about business ethics, solo model sites, sponsor/affiliate relationships and many other pertinent issues, in such an open discussion.

I think if you read back at what I actually wrote as opposed to how you are interpreting what I wrote, than you will see that I made no specific attack on you.

It's possible that you are in the right. I was simply trying to stimulate discourse on this since I pointed out that I also have firsthand experience with situations such as what you are dealing with, however I found acceptable alternative methods for resolving them amicably for all.

On the otherhand, maybe you did screw Julia (figuratively, not literally - although I don't know about that either), in which case you might want to re-examine your own actions/attitudes, or at least not repeat the same mistakes.

Right.... by saying stuff like

"i hope he doesn't get whacked before he spends the money. that would suck"

yah, i'm sure it wasn't a personal attack... get fucking real.

It has become clear to me, that you take your relationships too far with your models... business is business and pleasure is pleasure...

apparently you have let them get mixed, and now its starting to cloud your thinking...

listen to yourself. You're suggesting i take down the site, out of the goodness of my heart..

WHY THE FUCK WOULD I DO THAT?

I HAVE A MODEL RELEASE. I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO HER BEFORE HAND.

because she has a change of heart i'm supposed to FUCK MYSELF, and FUCK MY AFFILIATES?

Hey ADG.. out of the goodness of your heart, send me all the money i have invested in her site, and pay me for all the time/sweat and headache i have put into her site... and then i'll take it down... okay... out of the goodness of your heart you should do this... be captain save a hoe.

get real.

I can only speak for myself, but what pisses me off is when people come in here and try to push their beliefs onto other people. Thats what you did essentially. You thought that she was getting fucked over or whatever, you didn't like it, so you bitched and whined about how she was this poor innocent teenager who was tricked into signing a contract and modeling for several shoots. After that, she was tricked into making money.

You're no better than the very people who are trying to bring us as an industry down. A group of wacked out religious people decide that they're against porn, so everyone should be against it. If you want to talk morals, destroy all your content, take your site offline, get a job as a minister, then you might be qualified to talk about morals. Until then, you're on the same level as the rest of us, so don't think for one fucking second that you're not.
