    Like I said, I'm glad they were taken out. As adults, they have to be held accountable and if we really get into it, most all p*rn companies have high levels of predatory behavior, manipulation, extortion, druggings and who knows what else.

    But it's completely hypocritical to give the girls $500k each because they decided they were "tricked" once they were found out. If men are being held accountable for their actions, the girls should to. But I don't see feminists outraged about this lack of equality. Any strong females in the media want to speak about the real issue of worshipping the Kardashian and Hilton culture, which all these girls consented to following in the footsteps of?

    That's the thing - the contract itself wasn't violated. It was the implication, off the record, this wouldn't be seen domestically so they were fine doing it. From a human perspective it sucks both parties would consent to this. From a legal perspective, I do not agree with being tricked into something you took money for, consented to, because you don't like the outcome.

    It is the weak woman doctrine.
    The ideal that these poor women were taken advantage of ...
    If a man was to say they talked me into it. And I did not read the contract .....they get nothing.

    Judge Judy would have thrown by out.
    Words don't matter as much as Contracts do

    Feeling sexually aroused is exploitative and you can get sued for that....

    Parole evidence is the introduction of evidence that is not within the four corners of the contract that can be used to determine if there was a substantial breach of the contract. If there was a discussion between both parties wherein the company promised the girl that the film wouldn’t be distributed domestically, that can absolutely be admitted into evidence. The only time it couldn’t is if the conversation was inconsistent with a material term of the contract, such as language in the contract stating “Company has full rights to the video and can distribute it to websites in the US of their choosing”. Absent that, plaintiff can introduce the outside conversation as misrepresentation meant to induce her to sign the contract.

    Consider the alternative; Company defeats the lawsuit and is not punished for their fraudulent behavior. This sets a terrible precedent wherein they can get by with whatever they want. Maybe they haven’t been called on it before because girls expect this risk to happen, but if someone gets an assurance ahead of time that their work will not be distributed in a particular market, ESPECIALLY in this case where humiliation is foreseeable, that’s an evil that must be punished so the girls are not further exploited in the future.

    TY for the free lesson. The link you shared mentions the following:

    "So-called sin taxes, even those passed with the best of intentions, have undesirable consequences because they contradict basic principles of economics, finance and, most importantly, free choice."

    Yet for somebody who is supposedly learned, you either suffer from cherry picking or did not read the article.

    Technically they are not being paid to have sex but rather for the rights to film them having sex and distribute that media.
