| jasonjason Deactivated User 12 Posts 8/09 |  Posted - Dec 1 2009 : 8:43PMIn December 2008, the California State Supreme Court rukes that Brooke Ashley was an employee when she contracted the HIV virus. That decision was appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. In March of 2009, the Supremem Court DENIED the petion for reversal.(rpbert Dupree, Petitioner V. Workers Comp Appeals Board, etc.(80-815)...Performer contracted HIV due to employer violation of standard workplace safety practices. How come AVN, XBIZ,Adultfyi, or any other industry news sites NEVER reported this? One would think that a supremem court decision like this would certainly rise to the level of something that should be reported. Get your workers comp insurnace innorder folks. Performers are going to be notified that they can now sue you for std's caught on set. [Link] |

| qz3fwd Member 141 Posts 1/06 | Posted - Dec 1 2009 : 10:31PM I wonder if studios/directors/producers can insure themselves against this kind of lability. Can you imagine an acturial figuring out premiums depending on the types of scenes shot? [Link] |

| BigBobxxx Senior Member 2681 Posts 5/04 | Posted - Dec 2 2009 : 12:10AM Clickable link: Robert Deupree, Petitioner <brv. <brCalifornia Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, et al.As the link now shows, it was the "Court of Appeal of California, Second Appellate District" -- not the "California State Supreme Court." It makes a difference when people are searching with the wrong terms. If you want to discuss complicated issues, you really need to provide a link right up front. [Link] |

| StillHope Deactivated User "You didn't say Car Ram Rod" 149 Posts 2/06 | Posted - Dec 2 2009 : 12:01PM With such a risk I highly doubt, whether employees or ic's, that major studios are going to change the way they do business or start offering health, life or mental health insurance to the models.

| pornlaw Member 578 Posts 10/05 | Posted - Dec 2 2009 : 10:27PM Both AVN and XBiz have reported it. There's no question that in California performers are employees and would be considered so in almost every state for work comp purposes. Michael www.AdultBizLaw.com www.2257Safe.com [Link] |
