I know in Canada there is no requirement to list a model's age. Our copyright and obscenity laws haven't been updated in years. Having said that, most Canadian pay sites give some 2257 type info as not to cause attention to themselves.
The statute (18 U.S.C.2257) also claims extraterritorial jurisdiction saying that if you have American traffic then you have to comply whether you are resident in the U.S. or not. None of which matters of course if your server and yourself are not in the U.S.
As I've said before, in order to comply with 2257 you must list the first initial of your first name, your last name and your real business address on your 2257 page. Plus, you must be there during regular business hours in case the FBI wishes to inspect your records. [IMHO, the real motivation behind this was to drive the solo girl sites out of business by making sex worker's addresses available to every nut bar with access to the Internet.] Many sites, especially smaller ones, use company names and P.O. boxes rather than make personal information public. Technically, this is a violation of the law.
All of the above is some what academic as the enforcement of 2257 is not widespread. The chance of an inspection of a foreign webmaster doing non-extreme sites is, for practical purposes, very remote.
P.S. I am not a lawyer. I just play one on the Interweb. My advice above is worth every penny you paid for it.
