I've seen that particular post on quite a few model forums and there is one forum that almost banned one of their own female moderators as they were going to work for that company nas they are very anti..

The argument at the moment carries on about linking glamour models to porn and escort work as the site gives new models advise.. Those of us in the business know that there are and always have been glamour models who said that they would never do b/g and 20 years ago they'd go over to Holland, Germany or to Denmark/Sweden to shoot this stuff.. Today it's much more open and there are many models who are happy to do this work.

Then again in those days there was a more distinct line between hardcore models and escorts and today.. There are more than many would expect, models who also do escort work and the site/company that's being flamed isn't wrong to openly offer advise.

This flaming of them crops up every couple of months and having spoken to the person that runs it she told me that there is one person who used to post here quite a lot but seems to have vanished who is behind all this as she refused to work for him once and I believe her as this flamer has even had a go at me for some unknown reason and to allay thoughts that he might be recognised he's even flamed himself.. This particular person seems to pick on anyone that sticks up for the un-named site and has even had a go at regular photographers who have absolutely nothing to do with porn due to their support of the site.

Whether it's registered or not I believe it's doing a good job and long may it continue

As Woodgnome appears to want this topic kept off the forum I have responded to him directly, and hope for an informative reply.

Only Ltd companies are required to register at Companies House. Even if the company folds or is renamed a full audit has to be left (and in fact can be seen on the Companies House website).

Everything else is covered by the Business Names Act 1985 - see here for details

In a nutshell if you trade under a name other than your own you are required to disclose it at your principle place of business (i.e website), on business correspondence and to anybody asks. The replaced the old formal register.

This raises a couple of interesting points:

Naming the name behind a trading (i.e with income and expenses) website, carries no risk whatsoever of civil action due to the above act, providing the information is factually correct.

Owners of trading websites who do not disclose the required details (i.e the site registration details do not reflect the true owner etc) are certainly in breach of the act. Luckily for most the situation is similar to being drunk and disorderly - you really have to take the proverbial for anybody to be bothered!
