Not to sounds redundant, but I am assuming the language on the model release is clear. The most important statement in the world is really reduced to few words, and those words are the description of the rights you had permission for such as print and online [electronic], and in some case a timeline if any.
Its always wise to contact an attorney, but having been the most sued webmaster since 1993 with copyright and model release challenges, I can tell you, she has NO standing, and unless she has a potload of money, she cannot even challenge you. To challenge you with a frivolous lawsuit will cost her twice, her fees and having to pay yours.
She was compensated [assuming you paid her & you can prove payment], you have signed releases [contract].
Having been dealing in content since 1991, I lost count of how many times we were challenged with the model or family up in arms over the conduct of their loved ones posing nude or comitting a sexual act....even had some claim their loved one was a minor at the time the images were shot and they did turn me into the Child Porn divison in CA.
My paperwork never failed me, and NO district attorney is gonna take her case because she had a change of heart and has asked you to stop distributing images...
If you want the images, they are yours, have fun, if you want to make concessions and pull them, its your choice, but if you choose to its not because you legally had too.
Now, on the other hand models tend to like to report photogs to authorities telling them bad things go on in the studio's, and sometimes this leads to a sting and computers get hauled out until your case is sorted out.....she could really put you through some changes........some call local community folks and they want to investigate your activities....
If you think she is gonna be the bitch from hell, decide how bad you want those images and are you willing to go to war over them....
