But hey they are throwing the closing party for the spring freeloaders show so I guess that makes them ok?

It's actually all the reasons why he is fucking it up. Publically shot footage of a public event (spring brake, Mardi Gras, etc) shot from public areas showing what anyone could of seen is legal, as it is "reporting". Providing you don't add to the footage (like saying "Hey, look at this drunken lesbo bitch licking her friends big titties, she is a big slut"), then you are pretty much in the clear.
Having a closed door party (or a private party on a bus) pretty much blows that out the window and requires a model release. In the same manner, directing a girl to do anything (beyond just throwing beads at mardigras) is beyond reporting and again requires a model release.
In the end, it would appear that Mr Francis isn't clear on this concept, and certainly I would think that the feds would have all the reasons in the world to go do a 2257 inspection on his company, and to check footage "in the vault" because it would appear that he might be retaining videos of minors nude.
