Not an attractive package when you 'exclude' royalties, car, apartment, surgery, wardobe and a US working visa, no.

Oh dear. We went through this one on a thread some months ago. If you want to go post on that thread we can all go round that merry go round again.

It's fine to be bloody northern. It's not so cool to fail to read the actual message you're criticising.
Both Alicia and Alexis Silver were exempted from the post-shoot clause in their contracts for the very obvious point you make. Angel's never been a contract girl.

Wow! Now we've got a tax expert in addition to all the people who think they know something about contract law !
Try reading the posts on how the legal issues work - OK ?

Indeed, and as you can by now tell, the 'general view' is riven with half baked ideas about what the law is.
What the posts show us is that the posters are suprised by what the law actually says about the protection of producers' rights.
I assume you welcome people being given information which is relevant to their business decisions.

Amazing how many repititions it takes before someone can understand a simple point.
BB has rights over the use of contract girl during and after the contract. The rights are protected by law. If a person breaches those rights, he is liable.
The girls give up the right to work for other people and in compensation they receive royalties. Quite sufficient to pay for your hypothetical nappies.
Do you think it is good PR for a person who is in the business of producing adult movies to express for all to see on this forum completely misconceived notions of what the law actually is, just because they have an emotional reaction to the information ?
B2B PR is not the same as B2C PR, is it ? If BB relied on the posters to this producers forum for its revenues, then the contract girls wouldn't get paid enough for their bus fare, would they ?
