That is why porn "agents" (using the term loosely as possible) typically charge producers and do not charge a fee or percentage to the models.

I would agree that there are a lot of unlicensed agents making the rounds, but totally disagree in that the biggest and most successful agents are absolutely licensed and bonded (at least in California). You can see a fairly comprehensive list of them here

We used to deal with just about every agency, but found that sticking to only licensed agents save us a lot of headache and proved the most responsible and ethical move.
