Interesting. I don't know the specific wording, but how much of a contract holds up if one side doesn't hold up their end (not paying the other party). I know it's all down to what's in the specific text, but.. certainly morally, when you quit fulfilling your end of the bargain, I don't feel much of a need to uphold mine. Yes, I'm older now, but I know I felt that way even as a kid. That particular story just bugs me. Somehow they'd rather pay attorney fees against her for doing something she should be allowed to do, vs just using that money to ... pay her for services rendered in the first place. Touches a nerve, cause I had someone not pay me. But they had money to respond to my lawsuit, and in extremely great detail (20+ pages to detail all the ways they do not owe me anything for the several weeks I built their project and delivered it to their client).

The game is to promise the girl whatever gets her to the set, make the film, then look for whatever reason you can come up with not to pay her. Often there is no enforceable contract. In this particular case, the signed contract was with a fictitious company that had nothing to do with the filming or distribution (a sham 'talent' agency). All it took was a phonecall from someone familiar with the many rules regarding adult films. They paid as soon as they knew she was willing to seek help. In these situations they wrongdoer doesn't face attorney fees. They pay instantly, but they win in the long run because so many wronged actresses just disappear from the industry rather than put up a fight.
