"all and sundry" ?????????? I'm one person Dave, just me, the guy that created the product not the person that paid for it to be shot sure but the person who shot it. One copy that's all, just one !

It makes no difference, Dave, you don't have an automatic right to have a copy before the material is published and even then isn't I easier just to go and buy a copy?

Well if that's the case then every producer would end up giving you a copy and would then feel obliged to give models/studs a copy as well, if asked.
I have done several shoots and have happily gone online and purchased the scenes I was in. I don't have sky so find it great I can come online and purchase the scenes I was in and get to keep them and then watch them with my partner.
I get hired to do the job in question and get paid for what was is required, always give 100% to every shoot and never expect anything for nothing. and am more than happy to pay for my own stuff !happy!
But this is just me lol and being a woman am probably wrong lol
love

I normally offer couples the option to download their scene when the site is updated and have given away dvds and (begrudgingly) in the past, magazines from my porn stash (cos I iz nice like dat innit) but this is entirely at the producers discretion Dave.
If you had to rely on your mates or colleagues to make a living you'd be a very poor man indeed.
If a producer gave you a freebie then he would be expected to do the same for everyone else (Im basically saying this for the cheap seats Dave)
Work with AITA is done by volunteering. Like UKAP , people muck in to make it what it is....But you was probably joking right? !happy! Damn you got me!

I wouldn't expect or demand a free copy of anything I shoot. for example I shot a load of UK Studenthouse films, that is, shot soft and hard versions singlehandedly, oh and they went on to be amongst the best selling DVD porn films ever in the UK.
Did I expect free copies? No I didn't because I know it's a pain in the arse for producers to make copies for people, they've got enough to do with editing, making box covers and generally promoting their product, without someone moaning on the phone, "Give me a copy mate!"

You know Terry, having thought about it, no I wasn't initially joking with my remark but I can now see the joke. Me thinking that there might be an opportunity for me to gain employment - yeah that's fucking hilarious man !!

I mentioned in a couple of posts how the freebie hunters are destroying the porn business far more effectively than anti porn campaigners or the government. On the British Girls forum there is a perfect example of the blatant and total disregard for the fact that people have actually invested money in porn and in return hoped that someone pays to have a look at his or her work.
Jo King is advertising Larasplayground, my wife Lara's website and in his post he shows pics of a scene featuring Lara and Emma butt. Someone has asked,
"Anyone know where I can get a copy of this?"
In these few words you see the reason for the ultimate total destruction of this industry. the writer does not see anything wrong with posting a message that in effect publicly asks, "Does anyone know where I can get a stolen copy of this cos I don't want to pay for it?" It does not occur to him for one millisecond to join the website to get the copy, he believes he has a natural right to own the material and pay nothing for it. It does not occur to him that money has been invested, time spent, people paid in order that he can see the scene. To him the mere existence of the scene is in the public domain for all to enjoy for free.
Forget your ISP restrictions, forget your anti porn campaigners, forget ATVOD go and read those words and see one single example of a cancerous cell amongst millions of others which within 5 years will have dessimated what is left of this whole industry!
