Feds request full 2257 documentation. That's full ID with name, address, age, social security number, birthdate, eye color - everything. Also signed documents showing the model's consent to be photographed for this particular set of pictures at this particular time and stating that she's over 18.

What DN requested was an ID with only a picture and birthdate showing. No privacy laws violated in the US (where the owner resides, the site is hosted, and where it was registered - so don't even start with the Canadian law thing), no federal laws violated as it was not a request for 2257 documentation, no laws violated whatsoever.

Also, a big difference between Feds/2257 and DN/id request is that when you register a name with DN, you agree to a contract giving them the power to ask for this information.
The feds never gave us the choice to agree or not agree - they simply slammed down the law and forced us to adhere to it.
Carrie why do you have a hard on for Direct Nic and Buff?
