Distribution and publishing options

 Updated on 21/02/2024

Because video recordings are distributed from OF-type platforms and recently payment intermediaries have started to demand that the platforms pay more attention to the fact that the performers on the sites are not minors and that the producers have obtained the necessary permissions from the performers for the publication and distribution of video recordings.

Previously, US-only platforms complied with 18 U.S.C. Code § 2257 - Record keeping requirements law, which entered into force in 1990. In practice, that law specifies that the photographer or producer must obtain a signed release form (model release form or performer consent form), which, depending on the platform, contains clauses about the consent of the performer to the filming, the public release of the footage distribution, uploading of material to the platform (upload) and from the platform (download) and as an attachment a copy of at least one valid photo ID from each video performer. The producer must also keep these documents as long as the footage is published and distributed.

It is recommended that a signed publication permit and a copy of the ID card be obtained every time the performer is involved in filming. All performers are required to be at least 18 years of age and the paperwork must be filled out with their real name. The performer can use the artist name in the video, but publication permits are always made under the performer's own name, and in the publication permits the identity of the performer is attached to the artist name.

The written contract and the previously used adult release, which mainly concerned photographic material, are no longer sufficient evidence of the mentioned rights. Here is a list of the requirements of the current platforms for the publication and distribution of video recordings.

Distribution: Sale of viewing rights as a file download from a foreign secure cloud server, from domestic platforms for their own currency or for free worldwide from social media platforms. Minimum distribution has a strong impact on the potential royalty income generated from your video.

Adult model release is given to the publishing platform if the platform requests it, for example in a situation where the video has been reported to violate copyright or the performer is suspected of being a minor, or the video has been reported to be in violation of the platform's rules.

Free delivery Finland, EU, US.

Identity verification with a valid identity card, passport or new driver's license before signing the contract.

Distribution: Free worldwide from suitable social media platforms. There is no income generated from the distribution, and therefore no royalties to be paid either.

Note! It is possible that I may not make a contract with you with minimum or free distribution, especially if artists who have chosen wider publishing rights are available.
