Liable in Law? How!?

Please do enlighten me... I genuinely cannot see how someone who is NOT a party to a contract can be liable for breaching it!

Nor do I see where you could lay a claim in tort. The only argument that BB could possibly raise would be loss of earnings on exclusive rights - and that's financial loss for which there is no claim in law (- unless accompanied by physical damage of some description - and what are they going to claim - that the producer damaged the girls boob job that they paid for!!!!?)

Please - if you can show me where this liability in law will be, do so... because I'm stumped.

MY GOD!!! What's happening to the UK? are you all going mad! Look, we are so far behind the states and this will only make us fall further behind. Ive never heard anything so stupid...like many posts have said, most of BB's CG"s shot boy/girl long before Bluebird came along.
I disagree for an entirely different reason...bollocks to Bluebird, i dont really care what they think of me or what they think of my opinions, and they most certainly feel the same toward me. What makes this laughable and sad at the same time is, they are saying Alicia Rhodes and Angel Long cannot shoot boy/girl for anyone else!!! These girls are the amoungst the top performers to ever come out of the UK. Alicia has done so much for UK porn and flown the flag on so many occasions, she is a national treasure! along with Angel Long. These girls are bigger than Bluebird, far more important than Bluebird, they are part of the UK porn industry that will live on long after Bluebird have vanished. What the UK porn industry should be doing is protecting these girls against such bollocks. When did producers become more important than the girls? is a manager more important than the football players? who gets the goals? who wins matches? who do people pay to see?
Anyway...thats my whinge for the day....say what i like and like what i bloody well say...northern through and through! I will leave you with a lasting thought..

New girls are great....but great girls are better!

Bad analogy, ignorance of the law is no defence.

I'm no lawyer either, but I'd like to see both the full text of the BB contract as well as evidence of a successful court action (judgement, not out of court settlement) against a third-party producer. I doubt either will be forthcoming.

So, in effect, with the non-b/g clause to the contract, if a model earns the majority of her money from b/g then it's a 2 year contract (1 shooting b/g for them and 1 not being allowed to), averaging 25k per year.

...but then the contract is not as attractive when phrased that way.
