Revenue sharing with model.

I'm thinking that a "get out" clause in an agreement/contract would hopefully negate the need for a court situation. I'm thinking that if the model wanted out, then she could have the option of buying her way out of it just like how they do it in Abbywinters.com

This was tested in the media here in Australia last year, whereby a model wanted out after a couple of years and Abbywinters said that the "opt out" clause was applicable and they wanted several thousand dollars to take her images/videos down - mind you the model was only paid $700 in the first place.

This was big news here. The model, not content with having to shell out some big bucks as part of her contract to Abbywinters for their future loss of earning, took the matter to the media and it ultimately came to the attention of the police in that part of the country.

Apparently it is only permissable to photograph, shoot or produce adult content in only one place and that is the national capital area (Australian Capital Territory - ACT).

Ultimately the whole thing fizzled out - the police put it in the too hard basket; the media dropped off as they do, Abbywinters kept the images/video up on their website and the model failed to achieve anything apart from the whole of Australia knowing that she had done adult content porn for $700

Perhaps in hindsight, she would have been better off just paying the "take down" fee!

Here at least, there is a good chance that a "get out" clause would work.
