What are you going to do about this 2257 shit?

Well maybe I'm interpreting things incorrectly but from what I saw, anything PRIOR to the magic date is grandfathered unless you have to update that models file for any reason. If I update ANY info on a model then I must make that models records compliant (which basically means I purchased more of their content or shot them again in which case I'll easily be able to get the info).

The only tedious part that I see from my sites perspective is that when I update a models records I now need to provide a URL in her records to every place on my sites where her explicit pictures exist. Hopefully I'm interpreting the exact url thing incorrectly and only need to provide a base url but hopefully that will become clearer. While this is tedious, time consuming and a royal pain in the ass..... it's far from impossible. The ones that will get hit hard on this one are the folks who produce and sell content. It will be nearly impossible for them to keep track of the all the URL's since it's doubtful that the purchaser will report back every gallery, free site, banner, etc that they use it on.

Keeping track of all the models stage names is going to be difficult as well. If I shoot a model today and she's using Casey and someone else shoots her a 4 months from now and she calls herself something else, or she moves away and gets married there's no way to know that information. Hell I've had models I shot one week and when I called them back for another shoot the next week they had moved and were unreachable! I plan to be as up to date with this as possible but I'm not going to worry about it. If my records are as straight as they can be, I'm not going to fret about now knowing that some model got married and didn't tell me, can't worry about things I can't do anything about.
