Yes - legal. There are some people who are creating AI images who believe that if they have a signed model release from 10 years ago that gives them rights to recreate content using AI on that particular pornstar/performer.
Legally this issue has yet to be determined by a court.
There's been a few recent lawsuits filed over this issue...

Also, there is a push to make non-consensual porn like deepfakes a criminal offense. A bill was introduced in the US Congress last year and a bill was also introduced in NY State I believe. Depending on the language of the bill, these could also apply to use of images in our business.
Its an evolving area of law.
