Exactly. It will get out if you have a user base of any real size. Things like user-identifying watermarks help, but there are ways to take those out (or simply obscure them), and people who do a lot of pirating often do that.

What you promised these girls is unachievable based on your specs and you're stuck in a catch-22. Either, it's acceptable or you can't use the content online ever.
That's the real crux of the issue. It was not a realistic promise to make, and there is no way to achieve it. There are ways to lessen the chances of someone seeing their work, but all it takes is one person making an illicit copy and distributing it for it to spread all over the Internet.

The lesson to be learned here is to never promise a porn model that you can keep people she knows from seeing her photos and videos. That may mean that you don't get to work with the model, but there are tons of models (and potential ones) out there.

What's your budget? Finalize it before shopping.
Yep, definitely. There is a big difference between what you can get for $500 versus $5,000.

I could do a "reasonable job", but I wouldn't feel confident doing it based on your expectations.
Exactly. It wouldn't be that hard for an experienced developer to put a lot of things in place to help reduce the chance that people in a given country won't see specific content, but the absolute best you can do will fall far short of what these models were promised. That's true even if you had someone sit and watch every single incoming connection 24/7/365.
