I am an affiliate with this cam sponsor and as far as I am aware allowed to use any content freely for promoting that sponsor.

Does this attorney have a leg to stand on?
I would do it just because its the right thing to do. I terms of a legal issue if its pictures or video off the site then the girl can`t sue you as any images and video is owned by the site.
I run a sub studio for VS network (flirt4free) and they are fairly cool about using my own models pictures at will but I have to check their resource section for everything else.

Remember too that most of these site will pay some models to use their images for promo material or send their profile traffic so they don`t come across as exploiting the models and taking video from there shows without paying.

If you come across as having honest intentions you will walk away with good standings on all sides.
