I dont remember making this a personal issue. But you give me more credit than I deserve.

I dont have a problem with whatever you want to do. I represent a production company out of Las Vegas that does transsexual movies, Buck Angel is a client. Im not passing judgement on you. I really dont care enough about you to even have a thought about your personal choices. I do care about the industry though.

There's smart decisions and bad decisions in terms of this industry. Hiring ANY performer that works without tests outside of the US is asking for problems. Isnt that what happened a couple of years ago.

Last Spring I met with politicians/staffers from the California Assembly and Senate and they are concerned with this issue. They have hinted with the net HIV/AIDS outbreak regulation is going to be imposed on this industry. They have said to me personally, either the industry polices itself or they will through legislation.

So realize you carry a greater responsibility than you might imagine.

Nope.

Part of the model release you sign as a performer is a statement that waives your right to collect damages if contracting ANY disease.

Most performers are independent contractors. They are responsible for their own health and even their own health insurance. Perhaps it is different for talent under contract...is it?




Thats just not true. Studios really want performers to buy into that. Before entering adult I represented Warner Bros, Fox, Universal, Entertainment Partners and Cast & Crew. Even performers that are hired for 1 day or scene are considered employees no matter what is in the contract. I defended a lot of cases involving stunt men and women.
