Itīs interesting threads like this that are worth reading. I knew nothing about the escort industry until I accidently met my first escort this year (seriously). I have wanted to ask some of the ladies about the industry , but I am afraid of sounding like a reporter, so this is very informative.I have no idea if the ladies I have met were agency or independent, I just rely on the information they provide in their profiles. None of them have seemed less than happy in their profession ,and I could guess that at least one was an agency girl, so not sure if it really matters as long as the ladies are treated fairely.

If an independent escort doesn't want to take her own calls and organise everything herself she could employ a maid for a fixed daily fee.
Still illegal but..

Not entirely correct, as the agency will advertise on their behalf and arrange for their photo's to be taken and make their bookings for them. This means they are taking on the reputation of the Agency and therefore they are not generating their own work. If is is not quite the same as freelance, as when you normally work freelance you get paid for the work done, not have money taken away from you and the Agency is not paying them.
If you compare this with say a modelling agency. A reputable one would not charge them for creating a porfolio and they will actively look for work on their behalf and arrange interviews for them. They will then get their cut from the person employing them for the photo shoot, who pay them and they in turn pay the model.
I guess we do have a grey area, which is that the Agency don't have them on a payroll, as the client pays them, but then the question is begged... if the Agency girls are Independent and doing their own work. Why are they paying them 50%? Which is over and above the costs involved?

Only sad bastards seek gratification from signatures
you do realise its a boss' job to 'coerce' their workers dont you in ANY form of work?. get the idea that agency = coerced out of your head.
dont tar all agencies with the same brush
as has been said there are very good reasons for a girl to work for an agency, agencies are not bad, just illegal and some bad people run them, so its like saying all footballers are drunken gambling thick people!
you cant generalise!
