I've heard that a lot of noob would-be pornstars troll Craigslist looking for work. Britney Stevens said thats how she did it on Howard Stern's latest "Interview With A Porn Star". Probably get them for real cheap that way.
The real question is - hire them for what ? Shooting a scene - then as coach points out you should go through their agent. However, it is unlikely that an agent will send out of his/her clients to someone unknown to them. For escorting -- they usually have agents for that as well. For feature dance bookings -- they usually have an agent for that as well. Michael www.AdultBizLaw.com www.2257Safe.com
This might be a goofy question but if the girl is getting the gigs on her own does she still have to give the agent a cut? For example if the girl was at a convention and ran into a director that said he wanted to use her in his upcoming movie and she took the job, does she still owe the Agent a cut even if they had nothing to do with getting the gig?
A girl is not going to get much work if she has an agent, yet cuts him/her out when contacted directly. (Of course, some girls and some agents may have a non-exclusive understanding.) Typically, professional studios want the agents they work with to be helpful, and to send them the best and most reliable girls. What do you think an agent is going to do when a studio cuts him out and starts making side-deals with girls he represents? Think he's going to send his next A-list hottie right over? Think the girl doing the side-deals is going to be promoted? Good agents provide useful services to both the girls and the studios, and are well worth their fee.
Do you think if i contacted the company that shot the star i had in mind, they would give me her (agents) info? Or is that considered to be some sort of proprietary knowledge?
^ It may be easier than you think. If you tell us who you're interested in, I'll bet you there's a good chance someone here already knows what agency she's working through. Can probably give you a link to the agency website, too. No harm in contacting a girl's agent/agency -- that's what they're for. I doubt that studios are going to be willing to give out much information to people outside the industry trying to track down a particular girl.
www.strongthread.com -- that should answer all your questions about which girl is represented by which agent... Michael www.AdultBizLaw.com www.2257Safe.com Edited by - pornlaw on 3/14/2009 3:57:19 PM
Thanks for the link pornlaw. I managed to find a few girls im looking for, but i still cant find one, who calls herself "kitty meaty katrina". I suppose i could contact the website, i think the bangbros run it, but from their videos, they dont sound like the type that would be helpful. Anyways, some more questions for you all: For say i want to shoot somewhere besides california, do you think pornstars would be open to flying out to a shoot for a few days, or does that encroach upon their typical multiple shoot per day schedules? How likely are pornstars to sign contracts for multiple day productions?
Unless you are a regular client of her agent, it is very unlikely they will book a girl to shoot with you out of state. Also, be prepared to pay all travel expenses, hotel ect. And there's a little law called the Mann Act you might want to be familiar with before transporting a woman across state lines for illegal and/or immoral purposes.

Thanks for the warning, I found the most recent version of the law, which states:Since starring in a porn isnt a criminal offense or regarded as prostitution thanks to freeman vs california (I guess as long as the producer isnt also the male actor), i suppose theres little to worry about. I mean, if the federal government wants to destroy anyone for any reason, there are no mechanisms left in place to prevent them, so they are just background noise.

You missed the California in your last post. Freeman ONLY applies to California. Shooting hardcore porn almost anywhere else can be considered prostitution. Michael www.AdultBizLaw.com www.2257Safe.com
I thought the unwritten rule of law was that case law theoretically applies to anywhere, since that in any given trial of an identical nature, one can merely reference case law to prove ones case. I read somewhere that courts will typically respect case law as rule of law, even though it technically isnt. Of course im not a lawyer, whats your experience with this?
The answer to your question is yes and no. You may certainly cite case law from another jurisdiction, but it is not binding on the court and therefore a judge(s) may or may not pay attention to the holding. Case law is only binding on the jurisdiction in which the case was decided. As for Freeman, that was a California Supreme Court case, therefore it is binding on all of California. Obviously US Supreme Court decisions are binding everywhere in the US. However, a California decision is not binding on a judge in - let's say NY. Bsed upon your theory, prostitution should be legal everywhere since its legal in certain counties in Nevada. Michael www.AdultBizLaw.com www.2257Safe.com
Oh! Sir!...Sir! I have a question! Ummm... If my girlfriend agrees to give me sex in exchange for money, can she be charged with prostitution? I'm just curious 'cuz I'd really like some shit I can threaten her with. Oh, and also... when will the state stop trying to legislate morality with bullshit victimless "crimes" like paying for pussy?
I'm thinking you should just check craigslist.com in your area (and make sure they aren't the police), or go to CA and do it there. They shoot a lot of pro-Am porn in FL these days, but I think I read that it is technically illegal there also.
I did it all by myself...LOL I searched for male porn stars for hire, and came across a famous black male porn star with his contact info. I contacted him, and to my surprise he was for hire, at a fantastic rate. A few months later, I was in his town and called him one night, and drove over to his place. Long story short, It was long, and I left there with a smile on my face.
I remember seeing one scene by her...it was either there on BangBros I think. I don't remember her name though. Someone said in some thread on here that she only did that one scene though. Too bad. she's very cute. I still need to wash my car, even after the rain.
