It wasn’t your video unless the original porn was a snuff film or child porn. She created music for a different porn movie that you also credited, and I can’t see someone saying “you released music for one porno and that was fine, but then we found a second one and that is just one porno too many.”

It's possible the agent only found the one, and might have also found the other if this mistaken one hadn't existed, or perhaps they would have never found the other one.

I don't think it's OP's fault this person lost the book deal - porn is hardly a disqualifying topic in media, unless it was religious in nature or, like, children's books. The agent should be doing their due diligence, both to verify that this was an incorrect attribution, and that the other attribution exists and is correct. That they didn't do any of that tells me this was not something super important to the agent.

My guess is that maybe there was no book deal, but the singer who contacted OP didn't want to be credited for the other singers work because they don't like them for whatever reason.

True. Possibly the incorrect movie was a more famous one and those results actually showed up, whereas the other, more obscure movie, may have not even shown up on the first few search pages and might have been missed.

It's none of these things. Why would a publisher drop a book deal because of a single credit from a video on Youtube that could easily be verified as incorrect? There's definitely something else going on.

People being killed on camera to make a movie. It's debatable if they actually exist or not.

I was under the impression they didn't have to literally die, just that it was a porn film with a murder In it, fictional or not.
