TP; It isn't about this current 2257 thing blowing over - I can tell you without a doubt (and I know lawyers that will back me up on this) you are operting illegally, your content is not in line with EXISTING US law, and you are taking a mighty huge risk that cannot be removed by "giving the company to one of the girls".
You must be able to prove your models are 18. "They showed me a card once" isn't proof. You need to have a copy of those IDs on file along with full model releases. Read 2257 as it sits. Your not following the law even BEFORE the administrative clarifications. More importantly as the photographer (based in the US) you need 2257 paper work for any images you take and then allow use of on the site. You can't get out of it by transferring control.
Basically, your screwed up, you didn't understand the law, and now 100% of the content YOU have created to date is not legally usable.
I won't be listing your sites, and I have removed anything of your I found.
Get a lawyer... you'll need one someday soon.
