Testing is to protect talent, but it is also there to protect producers.

You're a lawyer and you know anyone can sue anyone for anything. I think all b/g should be condom only and still trying to figure what the condoms have to do with free speech. lol

Well, I understand it. Perhaps you should have paid a little closer attention in History class.

Where shall we draw the line? Or rather, SHOULD we draw a line? And what gives you, (in the 3rd person,) the right, to draw ANY line?
I don't like to see condoms when I watch porn. Next, you'll say "Gee, women should wear long skirts, and cover their ankles......I don't know what long skirts & showing one's ankles, have to do with free speech!"

I wont get into the condom issue, but it isnt about suing anyone for anything. If a producer shoots a scene and they fail to insure talent is properly tested AND there is a transmission of a life threatening disease, that can provide a basis for either a PI lawsuit or a work comp claim. The industry has set a standard for testing.

In California it has already been adjudicated that performers are employees and under California work comp law, if they contract a disease on set its going to be a work related injury.

Unless the producer takes the talent to the test and then locks them in a room until its shooting time. They cant insure anything.
