Which Spons are Ready for 2257 Change?

I think many sponsors are going over the requirements right now -- the final text of the new law was only released Monday, in front of a holiday weekend.

I know several sponsors that are working feverishly right now to get things squared away, so, while there is a huge time crunch, I would imagine you'll see some announcements this week. The issue right now is that expsting content that was 2257 compliant didn't need the photo ID of the models as it was held by the primary producer. So, all of the content producers are being flooded with requests to get all of the existing content id/license agreements/model releases, etc. to forward to the sponsors so they can digitize it and forward it to the affiliates.

My personal guess is that you will see a lot of hosted galleries & freesites coming from sponsors in the interim.
