Isn’t it illegal to film footage outside of girl’s gone wild types (softcore - public events) where the actors don’t get paid (some type of compensation outside of free ass)? With that fact in mind wouldn’t it also be necessary to have 2257’s (releases & ID’s - at least for domestically shot footage) on the performers who appear in such productions as well?
Its not illegal to shoot actors/actresses for free. It of course puts the studio in a much better position if the talent decides to try and stop them from using the footage through litigation if the studio can prove that there was compensation paid for the model release and the work performed. It doesnt even have to be money.
