In my world the producer pays the talent so the producer is entitled to earn money off the images.

This is kind of through the looking glass stuff. Would someone please clarify for me why this is included in the terms of purchase?

Obviously you have not been to too many shows lately. They all have similar disclaimers, eighter signs at the door, or as part of the sign up forms.
