Interesting thoughts, but saying that "it's on the books, so deal with it" doesn't address a standard American principle.... that being we as citizens have a right and a duty to address and fight against bad legislation.
The basis of the ruling in the District Court (and now on appeal) is that the statute designed to control CP was restricting adults from doing things that adults are legally allowed to do, without being checked on. I think this is a great ruling.
On the other hand, I think it's stupid not to keep records of your business dealings (statute or not). Even without a law such as 2257 I would be checking and recording identification of my models.
Copyright violations and tracking down those problems is an entirely different discussion.
