    Default Girls beware (especially in michigan)

    I recieved this email from a girl I work with. I realize this is called stripperweb, but because it deals with the adult industry I thought I'd pass it on. Make sure you read all fine print from now on! Scary.

    There is this photographer/webmaster from Michigan (the name will be kept underwraps until I get the 'go' to say who it is, if I do...)
    who is releasing movies and pictures of girls using their real names
    in hopes to make even more money off of them, claiming that they
    already have stuff released as their stage names so he will use
    their real names. I am a believer that people in this business use a
    stage name because it protects them from weirdos in the long run,
    and the 'stage name' becomes that character that they 'act out' when
    they work! I know my name is -edited- (sweatpants wearing, no eyebrows havin' mommy...) and then my ALTER-EGO is stage name
    (stripper, wild partier, glamourpuss...heehee...) And I do that for
    a reason. Now these girl want to TRUST this guy because he comes off like he is trustworthy, so they do not take the time out to read the
    whole entire contract and all the fine print, which clearly states
    that he is allowed to use their real names if he wishes. They do not
    think he would actually DO THAT to them. Do you not think that this
    is BULLSHIT? His reaction to this is "Well, these dumb strippers
    should have read the contract!" WTF? This is a shady fucking way to
    operate a business!! He also has released WEBSITES and VIDEOS of one of the girls who works for me using her real name, he released content that he bought off of CLUTCH CONTENT of MY boyfried using his real name as well, and he acts like he simply can't use the
    stage names, like it is a big deal or something. This guy is going
    to piss a LOT of people off, and I warned him that he better stop
    doing these things or else I will notify every model I know in
    Michigan and also everyone else who may give him business in the
    future. I hate to see people get fucked over and pretty much what he
    is doing but he has a contract that says he can! But it's all about
    networking and good business reationships with the adult world, and
    sure, you can do what the contract says but you are gonna end up
    with a bunch of pissed off models who won't have anything to do with
    you! So your 'profits' are going to be less in the long run. I
    wonder if it will be worth it to him in the long run to fuck people
    over because 'the contract says HE CAN' or should he just go back to
    using STAGE NAMES and stop pissing people off so that he can have a
    good business relationship with many people in the future. The call
    is on him. If he decides he will change the stuff he released so far
    to say STAGE NAMES and not REAL NAMES, I will not tell everyone who this is. If he decides he wants to keep using real names and pissing everyone off, I will tell everuone who he is and his career in
    Detroit will be at a standstill. I am hoping he does the right thing
    because if he played his cards right, he could make a lot of $ off
    of the girls, who would RETURN to work with him over and over. If he
    doesn't make things RIGHT, then NOBODY will want to work with him
    and I will be sure to tell everyone I know who he is and what he is
    all about. The call is now on him- I will report to you all to tell
    you what he decided. Thanks for listening, and take care

    And this guy is going to wind up with a bunch of pissed off boyfriends of "stupid strippers" who did not take kindly to having their girlfriend splashed all over the internet and having her phone called. What a troll.

    I agree that you should try and spread the word on this guy as much as possible .... however,

    fact is that photographers usually do much better marketing pictures of "fresh meat" girls than repeat models, therefore this guy could probably care less about maintaining good relations with girls who have previously modelled for him.

    fact is there are tons of young naive girls out there looking for easy money which this guy can continue to prey on.

    fact is that handing over model's real names along with signed photo releases in the same name makes this guy's life much easier when peddling pictures to websites, magazines etc. Being forced to use stage names makes extra work for the magazines, video distributors, and websites in regard to age verification procedures.

    fact is that f#*king people over in the interest of easy money is becoming the norm in this business anymore and no longer the exception. The feature business, the magazine modeling business etc. all know that they are in the 'driver's seat' and if they do something in the interest of profit which pisses girls off - well there's lots more girls standing in line waiting to be f#*ked next.

    As far as a lawyer for the models being successful - no chance. The magazines or websites who actually publish the pictures do not have any contractual obligations to the models only to the photographer. However, there magazines and websites DO have a legal duty to ascertain that the model is 18 years old etc thus the law requires the photographer to provide real names and signed model releases.

    Legally, without some specific provision in the model release they signed stating that real names shall not be used for publication, these girls are simply out of luck. Even if there was such a provision, the girls would have to sue the magazine, website, video distributor etc. which actually published their pictures and not the photographer. As it is, a judge is going to essentially tell these girls the same thing the photographer did "you should have read the contract (you dumb stripper)".

    Tiffany is partially right - save the cost of the phone call, just run !

    Jillian--thanks for the heads up. I really admire people like you who are willing to stand up to these people and fight for what's right. You go out there and stand on a street corner with flyers if you have to!!!! People may not realize it, but you're saving a lot of lives by ratting on this guy! I'd like to say a big "thank you" for all of the girls that don't even know you're out there watching out for them. Good for you!
