| IainT Photographer  Location United Kingdom Bedfordshire | Doubt if any models will read this, but I'll use the thread as a reference for future correspondence on the subject. Models generally seem under the misconception that if you work for a members only paysite then the content can only be seen by paying members. This is a reasonable assumption to make, but entirely inaccurate. The full galleries and full videos can only be seen legally by paying members, but any paysite relies on promotion and traffic. They will regularly supply part galleries/old galleries/video clips to affiliates and promo companies. Remember if someone has paid you to pose for published content, they want as many people as physically possible to be aware of its existance...why wouldn't they? This doesn't even take into account stolen content. Every single gallery of any note will be stolen by file sharers the minute it goes live. You can see free content of almost any popular model simply by googling her and clicking on the links. Most of these links are sponsored by the owner of the content and one of the biggest boom areas on the internet is hosting these free gallery sites. Again, the bottom line is dont expect to do any glamour or adult content and think it wont be easily accesable to anyone who chooses to search for you, thats not how the internet works. And also, don,t expect it to ever go away...it wont, even if the original source removed the content, it would be a physical impossibility to remove all the promo content and particularly all the stolen stolen content. An internet paysite gallery is a bit like a raging wildfire, it starts of in one place, in days it has spread to numerious places, in weeks it is out of control and nothing can be done until it eventually burns out, but whatever you do it will still keep smouldering away and will pop up occassionally when you least expect it. |

| pinkbuildingphotography Photographer  Location United Kingdom Tayside | In simple terms if a picture is taken it will be visible to all. I don't know why people do not understand this. Whether it is for my purestorm folio or flikr etc or for Twisty's etc they will be visible to all. Your Mun, Dad, 13 year old brother will probably see the pics at some point. |

| skymouse Photographer  Location United Kingdom London London | If I may be forgiven for widening the topic, I would also add that not only will your photos and videos definitely be seen by all and sundry, but they will also eventually be seen alongside EVERY modelling name you've used for every kind of modelling (and in some cases, your real name once that has leaked out). There are sites where you can type in a model name, and it instantly a) links to vast numbers of examples of stuff that model has done for pay sites of EVERY kind; and b) gives a handy list of all the modelling names that model has ever used. |

| Plymjack Photographer  Location United Kingdom Devon Plymouth | And sorry to add to this but with face recognition software emerging then all images will soon be linked easily. This works by having a single image of who you are looking for and then it will find all other matching images on the internet, this will be fully on line within a year or two at most. |
