Reply to comment by Ramii83 in TIFU by not reading the credits to a porn movie by [deleted]

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.
