Some of the photographs were published in Playboy in March 1975 as planned. Robyn Douglass testified (and the jury was entitled to believe) that all she signed was a release authorizing Playboy to publish or otherwise use the photographs "for any lawful purpose whatsoever, without restrictions." The release does not refer to sale as such but in granting rights not only to Playboy but to its "assigns and licensees," Douglass in effect gave Playboy carte blanche to dispose of the photos in any lawful way it wanted. Gregory testified that he required all his photographic models to sign releases allowing him to do with the photographs whatever he wanted. The photographs were intended for a forthcoming feature in Playboy magazine, the "Ripped-Off" pictorial. That year she posed nude together with another woman for the freelance photographer Augustin Gregory, a codefendant with Hustler in the district court. Robyn Douglass moved to Chicago in 1974 and began a career as an actress and model.
