A. that's what you shot them for right?
B. I'm sure you have a proper release, right?
C. You own the copyright, right?
D. You get published in the process?
E. You get paid.
F. You teach "wannabe" models not to pose for photos thinkin they can just change their minds and change a
business transaction. Which might actually limit the number
of models, which might actually be good for the modeling industry and the photographers.

That's why photographers are in general looked down upon as the low end of the
imagery industry. That kind of thinking generally leads to problems in the
long run.
What if that were your kid? His asking showed that at least his sense of
ethics and self-respect is somewhere in his sub-conscious.

One thing I've learned is that you have to run a tight and ethical ship
that is reliable and trust worthy in order to get the really cool jobs
and to make the big bucks.
I've yet to see any photographer looked upon as a hero when these situations
come up and the photographer sells out.
The general public and the industry sees them as the scum that they are.
And this includes the hypocrites.
