LOS ANGELES, June 14, 2022 — Sense/Net today published version 4 of the Sense/Net Consent Standard, the rules under which every Fullfield recording is made. The standard has been public since 2012.
Three changes take effect on July 1. A performer may now ask for a released title to be withdrawn from public access at any time, not only before release; the company will honor the request within 30 days and pay the performer any residuals already earned. The breath and heart-rate tracks, which record a performer’s body and not their performance, require a consent separate from the rest of the recording and may be refused without affecting the booking. And a representative chosen by the performer may attend every capture session, at the company’s expense.
“A recording made from inside someone’s body ought to come with more rights than a photograph of them,” said Dolores Agbaje, head of performer relations. “Version 4 writes that down.”
