Are Model ID's and Releases required?

good example ...

only question is with all the fly by night content providers out there, make sure you are not dealing with a company that will disappear and not maintain their custodian of records... in a vid store they are generally dealing with private, vivid, etc, those guys arent going anywhere. You can feel safe with the established companies - and if you are concerned, ask the provider about it.

There are a lot of wackjobs selling content nowadays. this is the ONLY reason i would ever want copies, if it's from an unestablished, new provider whom i dont fully trust.
