Wazza, the chance that this makes it past the courts is small, not only because of past failures (10th circuit blew it out many years ago), but also because of newer privacy laws that don't permit the open distribution of model infomation - such as the privacy laws in the state of California, where much of the video world is based.

It is also not clear who all needs the records. The potential for overwhelming amounts of duplication of records is insane. If you produce a movie for sale on dvd, everyone invovled (camerman, editor, graphics guy, the company the reproduced the DVD, the store owners selling the DVD) may all be required to have model releases on each model - and maintain a database cross referenced for all appearances by that model etc.

It's not very logical. It doesn't serve the public interest, and it doesn't do anything to slow KP. No public good is gotten from this law, it is a backhanded attempt to squash the free speech rights of the adult industry by creating a paperwork jungle that borders on impossible to maintain. The objective is to make it impossible to have all the right records, and as such, make it possible for everyone one of us to be blown out of business.

I am not here to enforce US federal law. My link sites won't require anything - but I sure won't list anything that looks like KP.
