Alex makes a good point, but as far as 2257 goes, no, Metart is not exempt. Although they may not have hardcore sex images, many of their images are clearly explicit as defined by the law. "Lascivious displays of the genitals" clearly covers much of their content where you can see the model's vagina. A good lawyer could even make a case that a chick with panties on but showing cameltoe would be a sexually explicit display of the genitals.

Im not a lawyer but heres my thoughts.

Every shoot Ive done you get a release a copy of the idea regardless of the level of content.

When I shot for Homegrown they also had the model read a statement before each video.

I remember one guy I lent a hotel room to at a show to shoot in had the girl read a little bit of the model release, hold the cash up for the camera, say she had fun, that she had a good time, that she knew everything that was going to happen and she had agreed to all of it, today's front page of the newspaper, etc. It's pretty hard for a girl to get model's remorse and then have to answer for that in court.

Sounds like that pretty much covers it...

Thanks for the responses guys.

I already knew the answer, but needed to get other unbiased opinions to show to a client that was believing what Met Art said.
