good, he deserves it.
dumbass ho. on a serious note Dueller why isn't it common practice for atty's to file two lawsuits; one for the atty and one for the client? the issue of course being that the client gets to put the entire award on their tax return and the payment to the atty (say 1/3) gets put on the sch. a which gets phased out once dollars get big.

Not sure I follow you, Beretta. I guess my "legalese" answer would be that atty has no standing to sue the tortfeasor. In other words in the GGW case, scumbag filmmaker didn't do anything to the atty. The atty is only present to represent as an advocate for the victim. Anyways, tax law was my worst subject in law school. So bad that I promised my tax professor I would never give tax advice if she would let me out of the class with a :C". She did and I don't.

Why do you think they were? Is it so hard to imagine girls doing this without being under duress? Hell, I've seen girls lift their shirts up for cameras at concerts, knowing full well they'd be on some show or website. No encouragement or payment necessary at all.

. No sympathy here for a 17 yr old either (these days)...she knew damn well what she was doing and was a willing participant...I guarantee it. BTW, when I was 16, and looked EVERY bit of 16, I obtained an official state ID card showing I was 18 but with a different name (went down to the HP office with an older friend's birth cert)...no way in hell should someone else have been held accountable for my "underage activities" back then imo.

Ok, KC. I understand your point. BUT, where would you draw the line? A precocious 13 y.o.(and they are out here)? Public policy dictates that at some point an adult cannot do certain things to/with a minor. For that matter, there are certain things adults cannot do to each other.
m Let's assume someone ls sunbathing nude in the privacy of her backyard. Some guy climbs a telephone pole and films her. Posts it on the internet with her address for financial gain. Should she be able to recover for her loss of privacy and humiliation? Assume she had a resonable expectation of privacy. I mean I can't as an adult sign a contract with you for you to kill me. That won'y pass legal muster.

Dueller, Of course you are right for the most part. I think what triggered the "doesn't matter if she was 17" response, was the "windfall" she (and her attorney's) we're seeking after the fact due to "damages". Should there be severe penalties for scumbags like Joe Francis...probably. Should the "victim" (and I use the term VERY loosely in this case) and her attys. make a small fortunes for "HER" actions...I dunno.

I'll bet most folks here could not name one hard-core porn director/producer, but y'all call Joe Francis "d-bag" & "scum-bag". He only produces soft-core porn (if you can call it that), basically filming what goes on at a typical spring break gathering.
I'm gonna call "sour grapes" on this one. Guy is a partying multi-millionaire and marketing genius who is perpetually surrounded by young babes. More power to him. |

Das...I spent my college years spring breakiing in Ft. Lauderdale many years ago. LOTS of drunken debauchery went on, but I'm glad there weren't cameras rolling, and I'm not female. He exploits drunk college girls for the most part...I have a problem with that. These aren't "pros" he's using, but inebriated party girls who get caught up in the moment. I'm no more envious of Joe Francis than I am of high rolling drug dealers...they use people for $, nothing more imo.

Ehh...I have to disagree on the "exploit" part. There are TONS of girls/women out there who would flash their biznoobies without hesitation (or renumeration) for a shot at their 15 minutes of fame (had a girl in my boat, with a perfect set of big C's, flash a guy on a bridge in exchange for a cigarette once). On the other side of the coin is my current g/f who has a nice bod, but dresses like a nun. I couldn't get her to show skin/cleavage regardless how much I paid (or boozed) her. Her parents are straight-laced folk who raised all their kids properly.
Girls have been flashing (for free & for attention) for years. Francis just figured out how to package it. Last edited by DasBoot; 03-26-2009 at 04:30 PM.. |

Nothing wrong with my morals. Those girls were supposed to be 18 and older.

He's not in jail. He wasn't prosecuted for the "underage" footage that his cameraman shot. His tit is in a ringer because of tax issues, not porn.
