You would likely be sued for a better percentage in the former scenario, but in the latter scenario, you would be sued for damages and for content removal.
Context matters, because:
1. Have you paid her (or him) a lump sum?
2. Is the content vanilla, or is it something very extreme, or shameful?
3. Can you prove how much you made off of her (or his) content?
If it cost you approximately $2000 to shoot a scene, and most of your members tuned in to watch that particular scene, then you could argue that you paid very little, but gained quite a lot.
You can't go to prison for something like that, it would be a civil matter entirely.
This law is to do with something criminal, i.e. publishing someone's images or videos without their consent, or creating fake explicit pictures, etc. which should land you in prison regardless.

At the moment in the UK you can go to prison for telling a joke.
I get the feeling that if they want to punish you, they will find ways to prosecute and get you sent down (prison).
