I've been 2257 compliant for about 25 years and would not have it any other way. 2257 or keeping records that fulfill 2257 is for my benefit.
(A) I make sure the model is over 18.
(B) She is made to produce her documents for copying and has a clue this is a professional shoot.
(C) She signs a dated model release clearly stating I own the rights on her image on the content.
(D) If I buy in or broker I know the supplier is doing his job right and covering my ass.
As probably the only person here who has stood in front of a judge the fact that ALL my content was legal was something my lawyer rammed down the prosecutions throat when he brought the question of under age content up.
I don't think "I'm exempt because....." would of gone down very well with the judge.
With all the under age girls exchanging nude images and videos of themselves on chat rooms it is unbelievable how lax some people are about a bit of paperwork.
