If lawsuits were driving video productions to other countries, the U.S. would have no schools that teach combat arts. Like any other business, video makers can get insurance. If someone sees dollar signs from a producer's dog nipping them, they will learn how the world works when they call that producer's insurance. |

Tort laws vary from state-to-state, but your "release form" means nothing if you - as a producer - are found to be negligent. And if you are filming what can be characterized as a street fight, you will be. The release protects your rights to use the content, but does not protect you in case of injury due to negligence and it may not even protect you against accidents. The release and waiver signed by a person who is engaging in a licensed combat sport is NOT the same as the release signed by a fetish video model. If you try to present your fetish video production as a "sport", you will be compelled to produce the license from a recognized sanctioning body. You won't have one. Are wrestling video producers in the habit of having licensed officials in charge of the "matches"? A "signed waiver" will discourage most people - especially those with limited resources - from seeking counsel. But if a model decides to sue and a producer is found to be negligent of having done their due diligence - e.g. not having licensed officials or EMTs present - the model is going to win. As to the question of damages that can be collected, well, that will depend on a number of factors, not the least of which is how much a producer earns or is worth. Quote:

1) Event insurance is generally cost-prohibitive in the low- to mid-budget fetish video space. 2) Not every event can qualify for underwriting. 3) Even if a company agrees to provide insurance, they may still require certain participants to be bonded. Quote:

The original argument was that it’s impossible for makers of fetish wrestling/fight videos to film in the states because of possible lawsuits from people injured in making them. If that were true, it would be impossible to teach combat arts here, as anyone who did would be susceptible to the same lawsuits from people injured while training on the teacher’s watch. In both cases, insurance deals with would-be ambulance chasers. |

If I come over your house to wrestle and I get injured, well, I assumed the risk of injury when I agreed to wrestle. Courts will vary in their decision as to the amount of responsibility each person has (unless there was negligence involved). P.S. Please don't take offense by my dog bite comment as I'm not trying to be critical of your post, but rather pass along my previous experience in a law suit.

Re: declining video content
Doom Maidens, Fight Pulse, Absolute Mixed Wrestling, WrestlingMonica to name but a few all make content as good as anything made back in the day. Ultimately it comes down to how good the girls are and how good the jobbers are, I would say that the likes of Tia, Ariel X, Veve, Sheena, Axa and Sativa more than hold their own against the girls of yesteryear both in terms of skill and attractiveness. If anything I would say there's more of problem finding good quality jobbers, guys who will put up a good fight and make for interesting matches against a variety of girls.
For those of you complaining about the quality of beatdowns the recent MMA style match between Veve and Mark was far better anything made by shefights or anyone else. [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] |

No offense taken. I'm not disputing that dog owners have legal liability for what their critters do. My point is just that people won't get rich suing over minor injuries. I say this partly because I once worked in support roles in California for lawyers who brought personal injury cases. |

Let me put it this way: When two sides fight in court, the only winners are their lawyers. It's unreal how much time, money and effort that lawsuits chew up. |

Ten years ago, I could shoot pretty much whatever I wanted (that was legal, of course!), but I would be a fool to take those risks today. There is simply not enough upside to justify it. YMMV.

Lawsuits are generally where insurance steps in. Suing over a minor injury will, best case, get your case punted to small claims court - where you have to represent yourself. Worst case, threatening/filing a frivolous suit will result in the judge tossing your case and making you pay the other side's attorneys fees and costs. |
