47. A hold over? What are you talking about javaman?

Here's the deal. A film is a device to share information and ideas with an audience. Anyone that somehow manages to think there is some moral obligation to truth and fairness in this sharing is relic of the inquisition and macarthyism. Those releases are not outdated they are standard forms. Just like you posting your opinions here gives this site the right to display them forever. They can change the font, bold the type and weight certain phrases and words to color your posts to their liking. It's just how it is man. If you want to act, model, write or create for someone else then you will probably see a document like this. You also have the right and power to walk away, probably like several other people did from the parts they gladly accepted. Your probably one of the people that prefers to be warned that a ladder is dangerous to your health if you choose to fall off of it.

The essence of a release is to secure the work that was paid for so that it can be used for its intended purpose without fear of frivolous legal action. If an actor doesn't like the agreement most people will negotiate but it's far easier to know that what you have in the can is yours and ready to be put to use in your project.

Jeez man what gives?
