Liability?

Hmm, you're making a lot of assumptions with that post.

1. You assume that it isn't easy already to get a model's id. Most free content offered by sponsors can easily be found and bought for $5 a set from content providers.

2. Do content providers do an extensive background check before you buy? It's been my experience if I put the money down, they'll give me whatever I ask.

3. Some sponsors that are offering the id's do a better background check of their affiliates than most content providers do. Granted, not all sponsors do this, but all the sponsors I use did a check before I became a member.

4. If a model signs a legally binding release and the sponsor thought ahead and made this clear, how could they be legally bound?

5. Those sponsors are also technically following the letter of the law. This isn't something they just dreamed up.

6. One final thing...people always use this generalized idea that the model's id will be handed out to just anyone. This info isn't being passed around to just anyone. These "stalkers, murders, etc" are webmasters...people need to remember that most affiliates 99% of them are business people before anything else. That 1% that isn't, well they might be nutcases, but guess what, they can get the info they need for $5...so...I honestly don't see the risk escalating that much.

What I've talked about above is in regards to most free content offered...I do understand that Solo-girl sites that are exclusive content, where you can't buy them from content providers, etc...that's a different story.
