One of the newer horror porn channels is looking for footage for their newest video on a cave diving accident. While I believe in accident analysis and if these channels were involved with that I would approve of providing them video for that purpose. But I don't believe that these channels qualify as that.
Instead they create often over dramatized and over simplified summaries of accidents. And these channels do nothing but hurt the reputation of the hobby all for the profit of someone who probably doesn't dive let alone do caving or cave dive.
As such I believe we should withhold permission to use any footage, and in fact I would advise a contract that allows you to withdraw permission if it is used for such a case through bait and switch. Also DMCA strike should be used to take down videos that use content without permission.
If you disagree and are willing to provide footage for these channels, at least get paid for it. So at least someone in the cave community benefits from these ****** videos.
