I pretty much know nothing about the behind the scenes business side of porn and i was always curious as to how do porn model agencies get paid consistently. Wouldn't the girls and the producers eventually just cut the agency out of the picture and do deals directly? are the girls paid through the agency? how does that work.
Actually Im interested in the whole process of how the porn business (or whats left of it) works.

Is no one here qualified to answer this question? Also what is the function of a porn producer as opposed to a porn director? considering the budgets the two roles can't be that far off...

There is a mutual respect between reputable agents and video companies. As a general rule, we won't ever attempt to book, or to convince a girl to be booked without her agent's knowledge. There are however plenty of scumbags who try to nickel and dime and get away without paying an agency fee. Reputable agents would then refuse to continue doing business with such an individual and/or drop the girl from the agency.
Every agent is different. Most charge a fee to the producer, some take a percentage from the girl. Some do both. In the porn biz, a director is often also a producer, a cameraman, a script writer, a lighting tech and a production assistant, particularly at the low end of the scale.
