This is why I think D is culpable. A fake ID issued by the government for Kelsie would lesson if not eliminate the culpability for D. But that's not what has occurred here apparently.
While those guys can be commended for fighting for the rights of all, both brought much criticism and attention that may or may not have came at a later time. The only thing they were successful at was speeding up the time frame that those issues were addressed in a court of law. If not for the extreme stuff, no one has any way of knowing if the backlash would have grown to this proportion. We can assume it would have but we cannot factually state it would have occurred.
WRT to the revised 2257, would current regs still have applied when her content was on his site in December 2007? I ask because secondary producers requirements went into effect this year and that affiliate does not appear to have been under the same requirement in 2007.

It's Monday night, 5am and I'm 6 beers in so I'm gonna make this short.
As I've said, re-DD, I don't know his situation. Other than to say that I wouldn't take any ONE person's word for it, be it the model, photographer OR program owner.
Re-Rob Black. What content do you produce or promote? I guarantee there's someone out there somewhere that finds it reprehensible and if they had THEIR way, you wouldn't be allowed to produce or promote it. Yeah, someone out there has a problem with blowjobs and if they had THEIR way, they'd be illegal. Also, Rob Black wasn't persecuted as much for his extreme content as much as he was for his defiance and daring of the government to come after him. Regardless, I stand by what I said...you and I and everyone else in this industry should be thankful.
The latest 2257? I haven't paid much attention tbh because I either pay for content with ID's or trust the sponsors that I promote (edit-and I live in Canada). I also KNOW for a FACT that if I went to court, I could get those model releases in a heartbeat. But I'll look into it more in the next couple of days when I have time, just for my own knowledge.
